The musical backdrop is just as imposing. Emo-punk ripper Learn is an excellent moment, featuring some thrilling My Chemical Romance-esque guitars, while the vibrant Josephine sees Lois’ vocals and the playing of guitarists Tom Thain and Tim Kramer bounce off each other to thunderous effect. Acoustic number Listen, meanwhile, showcases the band's softer side, and proves a smart confirmation of their ability to stretch beyond a visceral punk sound.
Our Hell Is Right Here is a superb representation of the gritty resilience and sheer power that lies within Drones’ ranks. Having forged their music in a fiery hellscape, this band are now burning bright, and on this evidence, no-one will be able to douse their flame.
Verdict: 4/5
For Fans Of: Marmozets, My Chemical Romance, Rise Against
