- The Total Drop were a four piece art rock/new wave band from New Cross in south-east London formed in February 2005 by Anna Vincent (vocals, keyboard), James Vincent (bass, vocals), Ivan Misquita-Rice (drums), and Sam Soper (guitar), who also produced most of the band's music. The group took their name from a song called (Do The) Total Drop by Deptford post-punk band The Homosexuals., and released records through their own DIY label Snakes & Ladders before disbanding in 2007. With a sound which ranged between melodic new wave, wiry Post-punk and angular art rock, the band took influence from the likes of Magazine, Talking Heads, The Slits, Wire, Gang of Four, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and played extensively in London, and also in New York City, when, in September 2006 they were invited by a music promoter to play dates at Trash Bar, Arlene's Grocery and Pianos. Snakes & Ladders released the band's first single in January 2007, and although the band never officially released an album, in 2021 a 10-song collection entitled T.T.D. was made available via Bandcamp, forming a retrospective of songs recorded between 2005 and 2007. Members of The Total Drop went on to form various other musical projects, most notably Electropop outfit My Tiger My Timing, and Dreampop band Heavy Heart. (en)
