New Music First! The Drums
Not content with discovering the likes of Bloc Party, Late of The Pier, Florence and the Machine and Friendly Fires (we could go on), Moshi Moshi Records continue to bring us vital new music in the form of The Drums. Recalling the sun drenched melodies of Brian Wilson accompanied with jangly post punk guitars, the four young men’s debut single ‘Let’s Go Surfing’ is the perfect introduction to their sound.
Taking from the sublime ‘Summertime’ EP, the track will make you clutch at the final remaining hours of summer we have left and has the catchiest whistling riff heard since Peter Bjorn & John’s ‘Young Folks’.
The band head to the UK in October for the following dates:
Tuesday 20th October – In The City Festival @ Night & Day, Manchester
Wednesday 21st October – Deaf Institute, Manchester
Friday 23rd October – Club NME @ Koko, London
Saturday 24th October – SWN Festival @ Dempseys, Cardiff
Tuesday 27th October – Barfly, London
