The band's debut album was a huge succes for Kool Rock Radio in 2009, and so it is now for the rest of the world, which was easy to guess because of their fresh style and inidie hits. Tracks such as 'Lets Go Surfing' have a euphoric sound, despite being lyrically downbeat, we could say they are the Beach Boys of today.
As we all now the music industry moves at a ferocious pace. No sooner do a hot new band release their debut album than a record company begins requesting more new material. Spending the summer playing at British festivals, The Drums have begun to focus on the inevitable need for more tracks.
The Drums explained on an interview that they have already begun sketching out plans for their new album. The band have spent the summer travelling from country to country, rarely staying in one city for longer than a few days.
Frontman Jonathan Pierce explains: "It’s great, but it’s very very very busy, and everyone that we come in contact with us that works with us, we hear the same thing from all of them: they’ve never worked with a band that works this hard!"
Talking about what to expect about their second album, Connor Hanwick explained that they don’t want to do a whole lot of change. "What’s exciting us is songs, not stylistic stuff. Stylistically and sonically and production-wise, the album will sound pretty similar to this one, just with new songs. If something new comes along and we think it feels good we’ll go with it. We’re not gonna shun anything new just because it’s new, but at the same time we’re firm believers in if it’s not broke don’t fix it" he said.
Will be good to have more of The Drums.
