The Drill was a British punk rock band formed in 1978 and dissolved in 1980, with some of its former members then regrouping in 1981 in a new short-lived band named Hollywood Exiles. The Drill was the first significant career breakthrough and success for several musicians, like Chris Constantinou (The Wolfmen, Sinéad O'Connor, Adam Ant, The Mutants, One Thousand Motels), Hal Lindes (Dire Straits) and Tom Toomey (The Zombies).
