DC group Drop Electric has only been together for a few years, but that hasn’t stopped them from gaining major notice in the area. The band’s electronic, female-led music is somehow both melancholy and hopeful at the same time, and gives listeners the feeling of being alone in a large crowd. Drop Electric just released its label debut album, Waking Up to the Fire, in October 2013 and will be featured in DC Music Download’s 2-Year Anniversary Show at 9:30 Club on 1/25. –Katie Bowles
