Music:Member Since: 8/5/2004Band Members: BAND MEMBERS: Steve Reter - Vocals Brandon Reter - Guitar | Vocals Adam Goodman - Guitar | Vocals Jordan Young - Drums MANAGEMENT AND BOOKING: Steve Reter - Milaka99 (AIM) Email Us Influences: ABOUT THE BAND: Dropout Year started off like the rest of them – in a basement, four high school friends, and a fresh passion for classic and bright pop-punk bands like New Found Glory and Blink 182. What once was a hopeful dream is now a full-functioning force among Baltimore, Maryland music lovers. Starting off with smaller shows at local grange halls and churches, Dropout Year has created a large and prestigious following that, in all honesty, makes other local bands jealous. They create bonds and relationships with their fans, and because of this intimacy, DY can sell out 800+ venues multiple times a year. It’s that energy and strength that gives DY a great shot at bigger stages, and with two east coast tours already under their hook-driven and catchy belts, industry folks and fans believe in the future of Dropout Year. With their sophomore effort, Best Friends For Never (Paul Leavitt – All Time Low, Senses Fail, Hidden in Plain View) available to the masses, DY waits with baited breath. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: “Dropout Year has stunned me. What has been sent my way is the most promising EP I have heard in some time. Best Friends For Never features eight songs of hook-filled, catchy and perfectly paced pop-punk tunes. I will not soon forget these tunes, which is usually a problem for me. Pop-punk lives or dies in it's choruses, and Best Friends For Never features one irresistible hook after another.” (score: 84%) –Blake Solomon, ABSOLUTEPUNK.NET "Breaking into the mainstream is not an easy thing to do. It takes the right amount of accessibility and intelligence, but even bands with such attributes fall short. Dropout Year, however, will not stay a local band forever with their upbeat and raucous pop-punk. They are front-runners in the impressive East Coast scene, and we’re sure they are looking to see the country just as much as the country is looking forward to seeing them." –The Absolute 100, ABSOLUTEPUNK.NET “Dropout Year fails to hold anything back. Every track off of this new EP is singularly unique, each with a very defining sound, none sounding like the next.” (score: 9/10) –Andrea Hubbell, DRIVENFAROFF.COM "From front to back, 'Best Friends for Never' is well written both lyrically and musically. Each selection offers a unique emotion and energy that seems to be unheard of in most of today’s music." (score: 4/5) - Adam Cowsert, BEATTHESCENE.COM "'Seven Unreturned Phone Calls' is 30 minutes of pop punk goodness that can’t be missed by any one that claims to be a sucker for this genre. It’s only a matter of time before this band will be picked up by a label." (score: 7.5/10) - Josh Labberton, FORTHESOUND.COM "Their brand of candy coated pop-punk ranges from tender to bitter to melancholy in the space of seven songs ... Dropout Year knows their genre and can pull off every facet of it, from a bridge consisting of vocals and drumbeats, to lyrics made up of rhythmic power chords." - Ali, ESTRELLAONLINE.COM WHERE TO BUY Best Friends For Never: iTunes Music Store Hot Topic (select stores) Smartpunk.com Downloadpunk.com My Tracks Music Snocap (under our MySpace music player) OUR CD'S IN JAPAN (InYaFace Records): Tower Records HMV Music SPONSORSHIPS/ENDORSEMENTS: Vox Amplification Marshall Amps KORG Shine Custom Drums Dava Picks Taco Bell Love Everyone Clothing Co.
