Joydrop was a Canadian alternative rock band in the late 1990s and early 2000s from Toronto, Ontario. The band consisted of vocalist Tara Slone, guitarist Thomas Payne, bassist Tom McKay, and drummer Tony Rabalao.
The band released two CDs, Metasexual and Viberate, and had notable chart hits in Canada with their songs "Beautiful" and "Sometimes Wanna Die". The former was used on the soundtrack of the film Ginger Snaps II: Unleashed, playing as the end credits roll. The latter single was featured prominently on MTV2 in the US during the summer of 2001, thanks in part to a music video featuring Tommy Lee. They appeared as themselves, performing their two hit songs, on an episode of Special Unit 2. "Sometimes Wanna Die" was also temporarily banned on some radio stations after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Following the band's breakup, Slone released a solo album and was a contestant on Rock Star: INXS. Tony Rabalao also went solo and put out a CD under the name Lehlo but plays in Slone's band as well. Tom McKay is a producer and worked on Slone's and Rabalao's CDs. Thomas Payne is writing and producing with other artists. As of 2010, Slone is part of Breakfast Television on CKAL-DT (Citytv Calgary).
Oh Mandra what have you done to me
Like a flower tastes like a seashell
Lean towards fade into black
Scratch my name into your back
I'm not frightened
This is just how I thought it would be
Move me close I want to be wanted
Take my hand I want to be lost
Grey green eyes it's just like a sunrise
I'm not frightened
This is just how I thought it would be
All my life all in one day
So much time and I still can't forget
So much time and I just can't remember
I want more 'cause it's not over yet
I'm not frightened
This is just how I thought it would be
All my life all in one day
You're a strange one
And I always wanted to
And I do
