The Gainesville experimental indie quintet Driptones have quickly climbed the local music ladder with their undefined and genre-fluid sonic palette. The members (Collin Fitzgerald on guitar, Emily Hyden on vocals and flute, Tripp Jones on drums, Zach Gerbi on bass and vocals, and Xander Boggs on guitar, keyboard, and vocals) blend numerous influences to create the lush and energetic sound presented on their two back-to-back singles released in December of 2019 and January of 2020 respectively. They came together via personal connections at the University of Florida through a mutual love of music and quickly grew out of playing for drunken fraternities and Gators fans. Now having their own dedicated home fanbase, the popularity of their two previously mentioned singles supercharged the band and proved that people are picking up what they’re putting down. The band is young and hungry for success, and they’ll continue to keep pushing the boundaries of indie and alternative music as long as people are willing to listen. Not constrained by genre tropes, the band gives us a master class on how to drip differently that I think everyone can learn from.
