Here Come The Lies is the debut album released by Perth band The Drones. The album is made up of both covers and originals unlike their latter releases which would consist almost solely of originals.

Release

The album was released in August, 2002 on Spooky Records.[1] It was later released through Undertow Recordings in Europe. In 2015, the album was reissued as a double LP on the band's own Tropical Fuck Storm Records.[2]

Reception

The album was selected as 3PBS 106.7FM's 'Feature Album of the Week', 3RRR FM's 'Album of the Week' and Beat Magazine's 'Album of the Week'. AllMusic wrote that the album "is now regarded as an Aussie garage band classic in the same way that recordings by Scientists, Lime Spiders, the Saints, Beasts of Bourbon, Died Pretty (Free Dirt), and even Radio Birdman have been heralded."[3] PopMatters called the album "fierce and raw".[4]
