Editorial Reviews

Review

From start to finish, they play a totally refreshing set that shed a bright joyful light over the entire room. --NY Press

They are teen dreamers...their post-war optimism rides on the pink, paradise island surf... --Rcrd Lbl

They'll be HUGE...This band just knows how to write a song that shimmers and sparkles and jingles and jangles. It sounded like every song they played was a potential summer hit. --Oh My Rockness

Product Description

The Drums have a sound that pulls together years of obvious influence by the Factory records sound and a sudden fascination with 50's surf culture. A combination that maybe doesn't seem logical, but when you hear it you'll know you need it, you've gotta have it and it's what has always been missing. Now back in New York City, The Drums are hard at work on their first record, which is bound to be an instant classic!

I caught the track "Let's Go Surfing" on XM the other day and was blown away. While it's a simple song, it got me excited to hear the rest of the EP, and I wasn't disappointed.

The rest of the album is different than the aforementioned track, but in a good way... every song is unique and seems as if it is pulled from a different influence than the one before it. Look forward to hearing the full length.

The Drums E.P. is the most refreshing disc I have played in a long time. I can once again breathe, after holding my breath, wondering if any bands with any talent be able to fly under the radar of the ever unreliable American Music Industry. The unforgettable track, "Down By the Water" is sure to be the soundtrack of your unrequited love for the summer. Now, go to your bedroom and play The Drums and go "dance your legs down to the knees," as a famous man once sang.
