Reissue of "Action Rock", the critically acclaimed debut album from Sweden's new Action Rock favourites The Drippers, originally released in 2019. The spirit of high energy Rock 'N Roll felt reborn when The Drippers entered the rock scene, fusing the 90's wave of Scandinavian rock with bands like Gluecifer, The Hellacopters and Turbonegro with the raw sound of classic bands like The Stooges, MC5 and Radio Birdman. Wether you wanna call The Drippers Garage or Action rock, one thing is sure: the band turns all dials to eleven. Screaming guitars, alcohol fueled sing-along choruses and raw fucking power is the pure essence of the band. Welcome to the new wave of Swedish Action Rock, where The Drippers lead rather than follow it.
