After a summer of weekly shows around NYC, the Drums quickly became the latest "next big band from NYC that everyone must checkout and, subsequently, fall in love with." With a simplistic, rhythmic sound that pulls heavily from the late 70s/early 80s post-punk style of bands like Joy Division (and that whole Manchester scene, in general), a little touch of surf rock, and vocals sweet, poppy (simple), and reminenscent of Peter, Bjorn and John (not sure which one though), the Drums is a band that leaves the listener with very little option but to like them. This EP serves as an introduction to a group whose genuine good-times attitude (Summertime! is loaded with aptly fitting summertime-esque tales of love (good and bad) and party vibes) is very contagious, even from the very first listen.
