“ACiD DROP infuses raw punk with some rather meaningful lyrics and every song is beyond catchy. Their stage presence is an undeniable treat, looking round you'd catch a few people Cossack dancing.”

— Emma Banks, Big Cheese Magazine

“To say they’ve got chemistry on stage is an understatement. It’s more like the entire Periodic Table thrown into a blender.”

— Henry Raby, Pushtofire.com

“Formed from the remnants of Leeds punk bands, Acid Drop came together in 2007. Following the release of 2009’s ‘Hazard Warning’ EP, ‘The DropZone’ is a rollicking ride bolstered by a purebred punk rock pedigree. Taking there cues from the likes of Flogging Molly, NoFX and SNUFF, the likes of ‘These Four Walls’, ‘All The Same’ and ‘Mothers Pride’ rocket past in a blur of enthusiasm, major chords and the odd cheeky solo, with Ben, Stiv, Ste and Pete kicking out pretension-free jams that have passion and aplomb in spades. If you needed proof that UK punk is thriving then look no further than Acid Drop.”

— 4/5, Tim Grayson, Big Cheese Magazine, Issue 120

“If they play it right and don't get carried away with their own talent and enthusiasm the band could make productive strides and within a year or two could be running alongside the best. We are due an underdog band to win a big one and who is to say it won't be these guys. You'd be a fool to place your hard earned brass elsewhere. ”

— Dave, FungalPunk

“Band Of The Year 2009 Album Of The Year 2010”

— Steve Blackman, Phoenix FM- 96.7 Halifax

“These are BRILLIANTLY crafted songs which frequently transcend their folk-punk roots. There is a tremendous versatility to this band which has not been apparent (to me at least) elsewhere”

— Gardanski, Sheffield Music Scene
