Passion, Fight and Rock.
Heston Drop was formed by its original members in Adelaide during the summer of 2008. From the moment they decided to join musical forces, their vision was clear and shared; to blend their love of classic rock sounds and attitude with sharp, desirable pop hooks.
Rehearsals started in earnest playing songs by bands they were inspired by, including 'The Rolling Stones', 'Foo Fighters', 'Kings of Leon' and 'John Mayer', just to mention a few. Realizing that the stage was where they belonged, original music started flowing from the band’s core. As the band progressed, the fusion of their individual styles started to mold into the ‘Heston Drop’ sound.

After six months and a growing catalogue of original material, the band was finally christened 'HESTON DROP', this name being an obscure and creative reference to Jimmy Page's birthplace. At this time Frank Vardaro undertook the role of manager, with determination and a passion. Heston Drop embarked on their journey through the beautiful chaos of the musical world. Through this, their sound and style began to evolve.
The studio beckoned and the band kicked off recording three songs, 'Shining Light', 'Calling' and 'One Way Street'. These songs were entered into the APRA Professional Development Awards, which saw them make the finals in Sydney. Industry buzz started to grow louder and it seemed only a matter of time until the band would make another leap forward. |

In 2012, a new adventure arose for the band as they entered the 'Global Battle of the Bands' Competition. Progressing through the local heats, the band found themselves at the top of the Australasian finals, held in Sydney. This saw them travel to England to compete in the world finals in December 2012.
Out of the 3000 bands that entered, Heston Drop had earned its spot and took to the stage at The Scala in London. Placing 4th in the world earned them respect from all the bands and industry representatives.
Since returning from Europe, the band has played events such as Adelaide Fringe Festival, the 'Clipsal 500', supporting Australian rock legends
‘The Angels’ and ‘Ian Moss’ and 'Scorcher Music Festival'. Nominated for Best Rock Band 2013 (Fowler Live).
Heston Drop has made its mark, both locally and internationally, and is set in becoming a worldwide act. Their debut EP was released on 28th June 2013 at Jive - Adelaide. With this EP, and many other songs they are ready to embark on their next phase of taking their music to a greater Australian and international audience.
