"On that oh-so-loaded Rum Bar roster of talent, the Lemon Drop Gang continues to stand out as one the label's finest bands." - Lord Rutledge
"Already responsible for my #1 ranked single of the year, Tucson's finest are back with another legitimate double A-side garage pop extravaganza." - Faster And Louder
"I need an APB on the Lemon Drop Gang. Charges include one count of mesmerizing guitar and one count of indelible vocal delivery!!" - Rock Never Rusts
"Their new two song release has a song that’s hard to resist for those of us that still have a little high school left in us. “Johnny is a Jerk” is high drama for teens. We see it as a summer treat. We don’t think it’s easy to capture this sort of thing either, the Lemon Drop Gang have the knack and they know how to use it." - Boston Groupie News
Brand new sum-sum-summertime garage pop from the desert with The Lemon Drop Gang!
"Rum Bar Record's support of creative and cool bands such as The Lemon Drop Gang, The Dogmatics, The Gypsy Moths, and many others, is beacon of light in a darkening world. All kinds of praise to Rum Bar!" - Austin Roper, loyal fan and estimable customer
The Lemon Drop Gang is a garage pop justice league of sorts with Tucson AZ transplanted members have performed, recorded, toured and played in notable Minneapolis and Boston acclaimed acts such as The Magnolias, Magnatone, The Dogmatics, Beangirl, The Pork Torta, and Jonathan Richman. Drawing a lot from '60s pop and girl groups as well as '70s punk and new wave on their brand new double A Side ripper "I'm Done" b/w "Johnny Is A Jerk". They are at their core a melodic guitar pop band. But their songs have hidden layers and take surprising turns. And in there with the punk, garage, and power pop influences, you can definitely hear some eerie, distinctly southwestern undertones. High energy burners mixed with haunting tales of psychotic love make The Lemon Drop Gang a complete experience in any deranged mind.
