Welsh melodic punk outfit Audio Drones have been building buzz on the local scene, and their single “Zombies” shows exactly why. Rooted in Flintshire and Wrexham’s underground punk circuit, the band blends crisp melodic hooks with a gritty, mid-tempo punch that leans closer to the Green Day and Sum 41 end of the spectrum than pure speed punk.
“Zombies” stands out for its balance. The guitars don’t overwhelm; they slice through cleanly, locking in with tight drumming and vocals that push forward with just enough strain to feel raw and sincere. It’s melodic punk that doesn’t rely on flash—just solid songwriting and delivery.
For anyone tracking new melodic punk coming out of the UK, keep an eye on Audio Drones. “Zombies” is a promising marker of where they’re headed next.
