Band Canada Active 1998–2002
Joydrop formed in 1998 in Canada and was active until 2002. Joydrop has 14 chart appearances on 14 radio countdowns from 10 stations on RockLists, spanning 1999–2005. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Beautiful”, which appears on 10 lists with a best position of #12. The station that charted Joydrop most often is WBER (Rochester, NY), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 1999.
Joydrop came out of Toronto in the late '90s, a Canadian alternative rock band built around the voice of Tara Slone, with Thomas Payne on guitar, Tom McKay on bass and Tony Rabalao on drums. Slone could purr and she could roar, and the band gave her plenty of crunchy, big-riffed rock to do it over.
Metasexual in 1999 brought "Beautiful", which has a brash, glossy swagger and a chorus that goes straight for the gut. Viberate followed in 2001 with "Sometimes Wanna Die", darker and heavier, before the band went quiet in the early 2000s. They reunited in 2017.
