The Drones are a British punk band that formed in October 1976 in Manchester and later relocated to London. Originally known as Rockslide, the band released a single in October 1975 before transitioning into punk rock. The classic line-up from 1976-1979 consisted of *M. J. Drone* on vocals and guitar, *Gus Gangrene* on lead guitar, *Whispa* on bass, and *Pete Purrfect* on drums.
After disbanding around 1982, The Drones reformed in 1996 for the Holidays In The Sun Festival and went on to perform gigs in Japan and the USA. However, tragedy struck when M.J Drone (Mike Howells) passed away on January 10th, 2013.
The Drones have been influential within the punk genre and have drawn comparisons to artists such as Gareth Liddiard, Rowland S. Howard, Beasts Of Bourbon, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Jack Ladder, Dick Diver, You Am I, Magic Dirt,and many others.
