The Drums

[empaulio]

I recently heard a few songs by the band 'The Drums'.
I like their style and feel they are going to be quite big.

Here are a few of their songs on youtube:

They also have a wonderful song called 'You're The One That Makes Me Happy' but I cannot find it online.

What are others view on them.

They are really good I looked into them because of a Hedi Slimane photo session lol

 

[Alkupra]

i know them from RCRDLBL.com about mid 2009 ago...they used to be two and now they're four... i love their buoyant summer surf pop...

I only noticed yesterday that Hedi, has them on his site. A DJ here in the UK has a live session on his site from them:

There's nothing like Let's Go Surfing to shake your head to. It always lightens my mood.

They performed on Jonathan Ross in the UK last week, the song was Best Friend:

Their ep is awesome. My friend gave it to me so I don't know if it's readily available. But I wanna go surfing & I felt stupid are amazing. They're meant to be pretty good live too.

 

[empaulio]

neonpeg does their EP have 'you're the one that makes me happy' on?

I really like their style, it's very relaxing and dreamy "When I Come Home" has been my theme song for some time now...

 

[La bordélique]

I read that Morrissey went to one of their gigs? Wow...

I like Best Friend and Let's Go Surfing.

 

[Psylocke]

I saw them live in summer when they were a supporting act at the KOL Hyde Park gig. I don't like their music very much (just not my type of music) but they were very good live.

I'm head over heels for this band. My personal favorites are "I Need Fun in My Life", "Let's Go Surfing", & "We Tried".
I also wanna point out that I think their music translates perfectly onto the runways. Especially at MaxMara, I thought the mixing of their songs was great!

 

[WilhelmF]

^ That must be my dream soundtrack. New Order, Joy Division and The Drums?! Heaven!

Funny thing because I also think their music works perfectly for runways and I totally forgot about that Max Mara soundtrack. Daphne opening and leading the finale to Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart is just the icing on the cake.

Thanks for the reminder!

They have a feature on the Billboard's Tastemakers section:

Seriously, New Order + The Drums + Joy Division=
Btw, are you like psychic? This is practically everything that I thought about regarding the soundtrack lol
