The Drums: New Album

As you might of guessed The Drums are my current musical crave and the establishment of their new self-tiled album obviously excites me. 'Me And The Moon' and 'Forever And Ever Amen' are particular highlights for me with there upbeat beach pop sound. The only criticism I would have is the inclusion of 'Down By The Water' which in my opinion slightly ruins the theme, but overall defiantly worth a buy.

The Drums on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross

This is my current favourite band, The Drums playing on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. Don't know if anybody watched it, but I thought it was wonderful. There was bags of energy running through their elaborate single 'Best Friend'. History was made that night.

The Drums

Lead singer Jonathan Pierce met Jacob Graham at summer camp when they were kids and have been best friends ever since. They formed electro/pop band Goat Explosion in there teens, the band toured extensively around North America. In late 2008 they decided to get serious and Jonathan and Jacob formed The Drums, later Jonathan's home town friend Adam Kessler and NYC born drummer Connor Hanwick joined. Check out the video below, got to be the coolest dancer of all time!

Songs like 'Lets Go Surfing' and 'Best Friend' reveal there eccentric style of indie/pop. The sounds are incredible it makes other bands that have been around for years look poor. They've just released they're new album 'The Drums' and although I haven't got it yet, I'm certainly looking for to having a listen.

First Post: Freelance Whales

Here we are my first post what an incredibly exciting moment for me. I'm going to start with a band I've been all over recently. They're called Freelance Whales, they formed in Queens, New York and tend to produce some very unique sounds using unfamiliar instruments such as harmonium, banjo and waterphone. Recently they released there debut album Weathervanes. Tracks such as Starring, Kilojoules and Generator ^ First and Second Floor flow with animation and meaning really bringing out the true colours of the band.

Freelance Whales regularly play around the streets and subways of New York, and have made it there tradition to alert people to there extravagant indie folk sound. Hopefully they will get the recognition they deserve, defiantly a band to check out.
