The Drums Perform Live @ Last.fm

They’ve already made a big splash in the U.K. Now, with the release of their debut album in the U.S., The Drums are set to take on their homeland. Check out exclusive live performances of  “Book Of Stories,” “Best Friend,” “Forever And Ever, Amen” and “We Tried” followed by our interview with Jonathan, Jacob, Adam and Connor.

The Drums first caught my ears in the late summer of last year with the release of their Summertime!E.P. How could you not be sucked into “Let’s Go Surfing” with it’s infectious melody and whistling? For the E.P., The Drums were just the duo of vocalist Jonathan Pierce and guitarist Jacob Graham. They were joined shortly after by second guitarist Adam Kessler and drummer Connor Hanwick. “The Drums were sort of I guess, inspired in a way by, being desperate…feeling desperate.
”Jonathan Pierce

Money Lyrics

Before I die
I'd like to do something nice
Take my hand
And I'll take you for a ride
You hit me yesterday
