“a rousing riot of noise that makes me want to get up outof my seat and protest against my mundane life…….. the raw power of the West Midlands accent twist the music into a call to arms for anyone who has ever felt oppressed. It is a marching song and I can feel my feet tapping.

“The lyrics are memorable and quite rebellious making for an interesting listen. The production that Drop Down Smiling have worked hard on for this track is top notch and can definitely stand up beside big label bands.”

“ Melodically encapsulating their way to the masses is a talent ridden rock jaunt the world needs, and their name is Drop Down Smiling, a band with a first aid kit full of vibes. Their EP ‘Sign Here’ holds four tasty morsels of what we hope is an example of the many songs in that style that we can expect in the future – and the range is wide! “

“It’s so technical and yet it sound so commercial which almost makes you want to believe that it is a simple song, it is so deceptive and keeps the audience guessing and thinking. Pure brilliance, Hats off on this one.”

“The power, skills and pure groove of this track over weighs a lot of the alternative/electronic/pop that I have ever heard before. Played with precision and passion, I can see this band being played on a BBC Radio 1 day time playlist”

Clever and intricate production, a great keys riff, well used samples, meaty guitar hooks and some well-constructed and delivered harmonies are all there in a very, very tidy 3:30 package that doesn’t seem to waste a beat.”
