Oxford-based rock’n’grunge-type band Dropout have been looking for a new lead singer for several months, and have finally found one. Their four-piece line-up now includes Tara Hunt on vocals, who grew up in Hawaii, which is pretty nifty.

As guitarist Ian puts it: “Tara brings years of experience singing a variety of styles to the band and we’re looking forward to getting back on the gigging scene”. In the meantime, they’ve recorded a new song, ‘Taken Away’, which features their new singer and which can be heard below. More about Dropout and their new addition on their website.
