**The Drips** is an American [punk rock](/source/Punk_rock) band from [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles), [California](/source/California), United States, currently signed to White Drugs/[Wichita Recordings](/source/Wichita_Recordings).

## History

A side-project of members of various other bands, The Drips are [Matt Caughthran](/source/Matt_Caughthran) and Joby J. Ford, both from [The Bronx](/source/The_Bronx_(band)), Tony Bevilaqua from [The Distillers](/source/The_Distillers), [David Hidalgo Jr.](/source/David_Hidalgo_Jr.) from [Suicidal Tendencies](/source/Suicidal_Tendencies) and [Social Distortion](/source/Social_Distortion) and Vincent Hidalgo from [Bullet Treatment](/source/Bullet_Treatment) and [Mariachi el Bronx](/source/The_Bronx_(band)).

Due to the touring duties of the members' different bands, The Drips were extremely inactive for their first five years. Their first album, self-titled "The Drips," was released in April 2006 mid-way through a UK tour. The album received many favorable reviews, with critics hailing their sound as "muscular and melodic... a thrilling blur"[1]

The band reunited in 2016 for a handful of shows in their native California. Recordings from two shows were released digitally.
