The Drums - just a beach pop band?

[Majesticon]

Don't want to be called beach pop? STOP FUCKING PLAYING IT

[hombrelubinero]

The fact that anybody let these untalented twits on the tele is a testimony of the sad state the music industry is in. Sorry guys but the music you make has one category: Horrible

[swissrammsteinfan]

They are really bad live, test it yourself

[AllAboutGam3s]

@swissrammsteinfan I love them live, I went to one of their shows! are you nuts?!

[DavidBirch1987]

They are okay, but a bit overated when you see clips of them live.

[einnayyannie]

they're not even running on the beach LOL

[InSearchOfForever]

They all look like they've just been told they have 2 days left to live.

Cheer up boys, its not all so bad... sure your music is a bit rubbish, but hey! the droids are buying it, so act accordingly!

[HiIAmAlexD]

They're not being labled a beach pop band because the name of a song or whatever it's the sound of their song. Best Friend also has that sound, I personally think it's great. Not a lot of modern bands have that unique sound.

[matteolazazzera]

check the new TheDrums song ''the new world'' on my youtube channel

[yellowSweatrGal]

i love this band but WAKE UP!!!

[hojun7273]

they would've been excited to answer the questions if the interviewer wasn't an annoying stupid cunt

[Beetlebum1992]

They really aren't a surf pop band...............but they should know why some people are labeling them such

lets go SURFING

down by the WATER

SUBMARINE

saddest SUMMER ever

and to top it all off, the ep is called "SUMMERTIME!"

comon guys, at least recognize why people label u as such...........plus labels are overrated anyway, If i was in a band i wouldn't care what the fuck the media called us, as long as the songs are good (which in this case, they are)

[ugobellan1]

great tunes!

[xdeadxtreex]

i really liked that surfing song but now after this interview im pretty over it. they sound unenthusiastic about their success while REAL indie bands struggle. i doubt any of them can actually surf.

[TSOAFrules13]

@xdeadxtreex they all surf. know your music.

[pimpsauce57]

Something about their sound is just hollow.

[ToolsnFire]

@pimpsauce57 it's called pop with passion, call it hollow, but it's endearing art, the hollowness is to get tubed in. Obamaaaa  I wanna go surfiiiiinnnnngg

[KellyLuvsEdward]

My favourite band at the moment :) LOVE JACOB <3

[JMR83]

What oh what is Peter Crouch doing here?

[rvggarcon]

I had no idea they were American.

[TheSweetjonny]

FUCK YOU ADAM.

[lalazz66]

i've never been more in love with a band

[Dookiebassplayer]

they sound kindda.. empty And i'm not talking about their music

[Dookiebassplayer]

they sound kindda.. empty

[nutellawithpopcorn]

Hahaha omg they are so indie I love it!

[corpsemunger]

@nutellawithpopcorn sssssssoooo innnddeeehh

[Chelzor]

Hahaha I love how visibly bothered they are at being called a "beach pop" band. The way they say "rock and roll" in a correctional tone. After 1:30 when it's brought up they get really bitter looking and scowly. XD

[slipkid78]

yoooo

im from israel they played here yesterday in tel aviv ...im 15 so i couldnt go the the concert...but i went ther to here from outside..

aventually i found myself talking to jonathan and connor for like an hour.

and connor gave me his fucking shirt that he performed with!!!!!

and i got a bear bottle from jonathan.

hell yea.

[Snakeyx]

@slipkid78 YEAH...RIGHT!

[TheSweetjonny]

@slipkid78 LOL, *NOSE GROWS*

[Nerdbumps]

too many drugs :D

[ginysimba]

its catchy...i was singing it in the shower not realizing lol

[sofe55]

these guys seem like real wankers.

[Microdancingdancing]

hahahaha i love when Adam Kessler says:

this is exiting oh idont know? who can say?

[specialness16]

the guy on the left looks like someone from friends - who went out with rachel, but he had long hair though :P

[domi64200]

salut les gas je suis votre chauffeur d'hossegor ! j'ai adoré votre music !

[GoblinsFriend]

Great band, great image, great sound. But the same was said of the Ting Tings, and did they really go anywhere? Hope The Drums have a better fate.

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@GoblinsFriend Ting Tings sucked Dong Dongs. Honestly they should stick to the beach gimmick a little more, it's easy and it sells, and it sounds fucking great. Always in the mood for it.

[GoblinsFriend]

@Chameleonardodavinci I disagree about the Ting Tings, but I can understand why you would say that. RE The Drums and the beach sound, don't you think that is too easy a route for such a talented and charismatic band. They could do so much more? Best Friend is a perfect example.

[Chameleonardodavinci]

@GoblinsFriend

Yeah sorry about that, my opinion on ting tings is purely personal...Just don't like her voice. Fair enough, I guess I was a little rash... BUT I hope they at least keep like a beach track per album, right? You are right though-it would be nice to see them go further than that.

[alexpettyfer12]

they all have such cool hair! :D

[MrMUGS94]

delirious with excitement was sarcasm people 

[crubba]

is the narrator the guy from GameOn?

[loveelle94]

these boys have great style, the moody one who looks confused is hawtttttt

[agentscarf]

@loveelle94 which moody and confused one? thats kinda the whole band....

[Nitrozity]

F5 Bypasses the add. - Try it.

[TheKontosuburbian]

Answer to the question in the title: NOOOOOOOO!

[OdeToNecrophilia]

is he gay? i hope fucking not?

[satta101]

Dont know if its just me, but when i first heard their music, i thought they were British!

[elementz1986]

@satta101

Yeah they are obviously heavily influenced by that sound.

[DestroySystem]

@satta101 me too :D

[CzeslawMeyer]

I could surf or lie down on the beach and listen to their tunes.

[CzeslawMeyer]

they are not rock n' roll.

they are completely opposite to rock n' roll.

I love their sound though & love the new album.

Disappointed that they didn't put "I Felt Stupid" on their new album.

[dangerousmuse1]

How old are these cuties????

[PuNiShEr126]

THE NEW TIME

[KingAndrew00]

It's funny how they act all seriously, as if they're credible musicians.

[OdeToNecrophilia]

@KingAndrew00 wtf?

[wackypound]

Don't get me wrong i love them! But would it kill them stop being so cool for a moment and just crack a grin? :/

[johnknight100]

@wackypound Smile? They're far too cool to smile

[docBOSS1444]

@wackypound like julian casablancas

[MaximumProductionz]

I don't nkow whether those guys are always pissed, cool, shy? Anybody know?

[OdeToNecrophilia]

@MaximumProductionz cool. 

[johnloveschris1954x]

Delirious? Trying to stay awake would be more accurate

[TheMacbeth04]

@johnloveschris1954x irony

[johnloveschris1954x]

@TheMacbeth04 Ironic? In what way? Sarcastic - yes; ironic - no.

[richteddibiase]

@johnloveschris1954x

Sarcasm much

[ryanconnor13]

i would like them more if they were less grumpy . . . mainly the drummer . But some might say its cool to be that way :S ?

[todanes]

jaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnkkkk­kkkkkkkkkk

[xxxScarlettIndiaxxx]

they. are. too. cute!! LOVE the drums forever and ever, amen :) haha xxx

[CKNDFressay]

WOOO BROOKLYN!!

[kd871]

"Down by the Water" is waaaaaaaaaaay better than "Let's go surfing". Definitely check it out!!!!

[mattybee321]

@kd871 down by the water is an awesome song, but doesn't have anywhere a hook anywhere near as good as the one in lets go surfing.

[kd871]

@mattybee321 yeah you're right Let's Go Surfing is pretty catchy.... :D

[Exeron91]

They need some sleep... :P

Looking forward to their new album (Y)

[arbiastoce1]

they r great i like them : ) me........from Albania

[madcapoperator]

It wasn't 'lets go surfing' that got me into them, it was 'I felt stupid'! I cant believe they're dropping it from their debut album...

[DanteJ]

@madcapoperator wow, i thought i was the only one! "I felt stupid" is suuuch a great track, i hope this "sombre" album does stay "The drums", and doesnt turn into MCR serious.

Well the reviews look good anyway!

[SuperTinydancer123]

@madcapoperator yeah, thats my favourite song of theres...cant belive its not on the album!!! lol but i love them anyways :D lol

[madcapoperator]

'comment removed' see you got that one wrong ;)

[zuki2love]

that was hilarious- "delirious with excitement". -"uh. its exciting. who can say."

[eddietheturdburglar]

BIG PINK ARE FUCKING CRAP

[whitelinesdontdoit]
