[gl0ss]

faggots

[LeaSunShinee]

I wish I discovered them sooner! Johnny Pierce is magic!!

[bobbykerschner]

all of these guys can just pile on top of me. shoutout from Corning

[MattLukasiewiczMusic]

Wow I am lagging a bit..Totally just figured out he's from The Drums!! Love this song!!

[wallflowerleague]

OMG LOL JONNY

[TheDrumsFan]

ME LIKE <3

[MrBingie]

This song is awesome I just came across this band and they sound great

[CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

the video appears to be a homage, in part, the "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls. quality.

[actionjackson1101]

dance moves like no other hahaha (ian curtis coined that shit)

[Xero2hiro]

Dance moves courtesy David Byrne

[redfreedom1219]

I love this song. Great lyrics and musically talented!

[PuffleHuff]

Listened to the Drums and they lack the 'energy' Elkland had. They're not bad, just...a bit too mellow. :\

[bluebl00d5]

AMAZING

[pancakerepairman]

hate the drums, love elkland. props to pierce for learning how to fake not being able to sing in time to jump on the hipster garbagetruck.

[Merkinification]

@pancakerepairman Exactly how I feel. I'm going to see the drums tonight, hopefully they'll sound better live.

[spawnofthedevil100]

This song really sucks and who like listens to this crap. I love The Drums and the music is so much better than this.

[letsgrooveyeah]

That's why i call energy !

[joru100]

it's funny because the drums' even earlier incarnation Goat Explosion was so much better than this crap.

[Bellazdaddy2007]

My 4 year old and I play this video and sing along at least once a day.

[letshitbitch]

i have to admit, the song's stuck in my head. i looked elkland up cuz i love the drums to death, but i have to admit....

johnny seems a bit gay in this band. glad he changed his swag.

[ltdedloser]

@letshitbitch have you seen the drums? he hasn't really changed. still flailing like he's on fire.

[letshitbitch]

@ltdedloser i can see what you mean, but yeah the drums is one of my favorite bands. hes not as bad now though, lol. compared to this.

[MrMafibeats]

singer feeling him self too much, synth player looking like Robe Lowe

[commonisgod]

 jonny pierce is gorgeous :)

[TheOnlyMrsKoenig]

@commonisgod  agreed!

[CaptChadd]

Great song from the first sony psp fifa game

[benjaminrichardshoop]

this is the most awful thing in the history of music, how could the drums have stemmed from this shit??

[xxstriker18]

Heard this song in the mid 2000's as recommended by MTV for "up and coming artists" so interesting how this record was produced by Fernando Garibay......

Who also is the executive producer of Lady Gaga's entire album "Born This Way". I can hear he resemblance but also evolution of his sound...

[legghiu]

@xxstriker18

so in conclusion jonny pierce is still great without him and lady gaga still sucks with him...

[sooperheep]

god i hate whites

[slashluva4evr]

@sooperheep omg

[crashtoek]

awesome !!

[Nonakumis]

BIG LOVE FOR JOHNNY :3

[jesdpie]

Yea, I'm the "bada** drummer". Loved doing the music. We had some good stuff. Still doing music and my bro John is still KILLING it with The Drums!

[TheBilliejo73]

@jesdpie Favourite Song EVER... The drumming is immense :D x

[PawelLopatka]

brilliant

[LipstickManiac]

i think i am in love with johnny

[awesome2562]

John Pierce has such talent. Why did they have to break up? : (

[taffertime]

@awesome2562 listen to his new band the drums..much better than this

[Nakedprey]

@awesome2562 Well they sort of reformed as "The Drums". They released a record on Island last year.

[awesome2562]

@Nakedprey great!!! :) :)

[xanthein22]

singer so looks like the blond guy from karate kid (the bad preppy guy)... come on ... he so does.. how is it no one has noticed this???

[109jacko]

This is sweet, does any one know where to download their album?

[DiamondsInTheSun]

Weird after listening to the drums, quite like this...

[mattaki]

their drummer is a badass!

[matteolazazzera]

in each music video, Jonathan Pierce dresses always a wonderfull jacket

[comedyliker12]

dude he probably is gay, i mean he sure looks like it. but then again who cares. i really never cared about it.

[surfer390111]

If "the drums" had a late term abortion this is what it whould sound like,

[cms3890]

reminds me of the (cut copy future) video lol :D

[Martylovescats]

Flock Of Seagulls anyone?

[balasaranspire]

what is up guys long time no see you guys rock man still remember groing up together and none of them are gay you twits

[FloScout4]

@mrcoreymillbags is this in an article online or in a magazine? :)

[MrCoreymillbags]

@FloScout4 magazine malcolm mclaren tribute issue

[MrCoreymillbags]

@SBV 123 in NME

[MrCoreymillbags]

Jonathan pierce is not gay he is going out with the drums manager amy

[SBV123]

@MrCoreymillbags Where did you read that?

[pokabeb]

Damn that would suck if Jonathan was truly gay.

[devicedub]

wow! i never thought the drums would be like this. i love it! jonathan is a genius!

[durksteel]

Flock of Seagulls I Ran video inspired no doubt..

[NathanPaulPrince]

this was mentioned in a magazine in Montreal about 4 months ago and I just found the band name scribbled in one of my books - figured I`d take a peak :0

[macmillan420]

Elkland is nothing compared to The Drums!

[skateladjoe]

@macmillan420 elkland is the drums..

[macmillan420]

@skateladjoe Nah dude, not even fucking close.

[psychedelity]

@macmillan420 according to an interview with 'The Wild Magazine' jonny actually "regrets" all musical projects prior to the drums but hey his moves are fine as always so idk i like it haha

[benjaminrichardshoop]

oh my fucking god this has scarred me, I love the drums holy shit

[underneathabodhitree]

I've always liked this song after hearin it on fifa 05 for psp. but now I know why the guy from the drums looked soo familiar...I forgot he was in elkland

[thehashslinger]

Adam looks so young, omg. Bby Adam :3

This is so funny to me even though I like the song

I can't explain.

[fithers]

[BIGredDelts]

@larathelizard funny you say that...i used to be in a band with adam back in highschool...i was the drummer and still hit the skins...so if adam wants to get together again and make some tunes im down!!

[larathelizard]

@BIGredDelts ugh It would be so sweet if adam got back into music. WE MISS HIM!

[misswollywancher]

dance moves like....ian curtis, good choice

[MeElectroFy]

jonathan is great, we all know that, but the drummer really does this thing too in this

[chrisperez098]

Like If you found this song thru FIFA 05

[cutejoshie]

six people accidentally picked "dislike".

[mollymollynolly]

omg

i never want to see jonny like this again

i love him till the death

but it just reminds me of something off eurovision :|

[NYsmiLez]

so glad i found this via The Drums!

[zebromofo]

maybe not like no other, Ian Curtis perhaps?

[AngelzCP3]

This is one of the hardest songs to find ever!!!!!!! from fifa 05 psp...

[madmanmcclinton]

OMG I FUCKING FOUND IT! Hardest song ever to find from Fifa soccer on PSP Best FIFA song ever!!

[namelessness123]

[PatrickThe123456789]

[RMG6990]

I'm gonna need this on RockBand a.s.a.p.

[manicmechanic08]

I dig it.

[viarro22]

An "a flock of seagulls" tribute? I wish that that song was on the FIFA soccer 2005 soundtrack for the american playstation 2 release. This song and music video were on my american playstation portable copy though. Great song :-)

[xanthein22]

i saw them open for erasure years back...

and still to this day ... best opening band ...

so far first and last opeing band i didnt know and

ended up loving enough to go buy the album

right after they walked off the stage...

i'm not sute about the drums yet.... ill give it time...

[furthing]

this song... got me through some hard times..

[TheBilliejo73]

this is seriously my favourite song ever, ever, ever.

ringtone, alarm tone, number 1 driving tune, constantly on repeat on my ipod.

amazin x

[starstina69]

BRING BACK ELKLAND! The Drums sounds the same as everyone else now :(

[FutureUALPilot]

i heard this on my FIFA 05 psp game, lol. I love listening to this song on plane rides

[JustinPelleyCA]

Me 2 ! ahahah  And The The Other Dogs On Wheels Or w.e lol

[JustinPelleyCA]

No Kidding ahha

[OKrepresent]

this guy's moves and presence, the lyrics of longing and youthful passion, this just moves me! Anyone recommend similar bands like this??? besides The Drums

[BlackFinsMusic]

@OKrepresent id recommend "dephic", i can hear the similarities

[OKrepresent]

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! I love the vid too! How they pay homage to Flock Of Seagulls and Gary Numan videos. Singer reminds me of Wedding Present with Joy Division. AMAZING!!!!

[23109VC]

saw these guys LIVE when they opened for Erasure years ago... they were great live. bought the album right away..too bad they broke up...

[louvalent]

I discovered this band quite by accident in a discount CD bin, and I was very impressed with their strong hooky songs, overall songwriting ability, and vocals. To me though, the most powerful song on the CD is the very last number, "We Share A Heart", with its hauntingly beautiful main melodic refrain. Absolutely gorgeous and moving! I wish there had been a video! Sadly overlooked!

[adamfirebear]

i weep when i think about this band only having one album and one ep. these young guys were genuises~!

[dearcatastrophe1]

hey, don't despair! Jon Pierce is back on the scene in The Drums. Look up their songs here...my favorite is "I Felt Stupid".

[adamfirebear]

hey thanks for letting me know!! it's great to hear his voice again.

[djrucker420]

i love elkland and the drums.. so did they just change their name to the drums or is it jon with new people? my favorite is "me and the moon" great song great lyrics great band overall

[dearcatastrophe1]

@djrucker420 It is a new band with some different members. Jacob Graham is one member who has collaborated with Jon in the past. They have a bit different sound too. They've really been getting noticed in the UK...I hope they get to touring the US soon!

[blah163]

more '80s than '80s. totally rad.

[FruitBooterNY]

<3 =] ... err

[taekyung77]

The band is now called "the Drums" I liked Elkland better. wish they stayed together.

[dastafford]

I saw these guys open for Erasure once a long time ago...

[andevejaq]

same here. i was so excited to see erasure but when these guys came on, my sister and i were right infront, i couldn't take my eyes off of them. they were great.

[luistownmassacre]

better than the Killers and the Bravery.

[chrisperez098]

I heard the for the firts time in fifa the video game... Good Song

[tharealest316]

The best F'in song EVER!

[mrzero1982]

i bought the cd on itunes. you cant find it in stores anymore! this band was AWESOME! they wound up on FIFA 05. sony dropped em after the new wave craze. they came out when the killers did, and you know how that wound up. the killers survived, the bravery wound up in a beef with them, and every other new wave band(elkland) disappeared! but they are back! GOAT EXPLOSION!

[MAndrewsTruth]

Great vocal range! Discovered on Import.

Mike Andrews

Sex

I T U N E S

[LBD81]

Where are these cats from?

[InstantPants]

This guy's dance moves blow my mind.

This song is pure awesome.

[kazaneth]

ian curtis from joy division

started those dance moves :)

[chrislilley5447]

I dare someone to tell me he doesn't look like Johnny....please

[chrislilley5447]

He looks like Johnny from Karate Kid...only a little less tougher. Although i love the song...rode to this at Wisp in MD 05-06 season

[SBeamish99]

this song is unbelevable. nearly godlike rofl

[jesgk2]

I spent the first half of my shift at work today singing this out loud. So catchy...

[vorhautsalat23]

could anyone post the Jacknife Lee remix of this song or recommend any website where i can listen to it??

[sycoraxrock]

awesome song.  awesome band. but the lead singer is way too pretty to dance like Ian Curtis. bah. :)

[gaae2000]

...like u had the song, the video, the lead singer, the concert mogul = Erasure...what? Who was ur marketing pimp?. OMG....pls

[koala5bear8]

my favorite song.

my ring tone.

AMAZING.<3

[LBD81]

Love it, so many killer sounds used.

[Elliissse]

I saw several of their concerts years ago when John Carl was their guitarist, and I listened to them and enjoyed their music even before when they where Goat Explosion, but honestly... this band is to die for. I hope they make it in the long run. This song is still my ringtone! Lol!

Go Elkland!

[blondies08rhvc]

i miss him i havent seen him in like a year!

johnny is my uncle.

[drewstar412]

This is wild! Very Cool! I had this bad written down on a piece of paper, heaven knows why I wrote it down. Do not even know where it came from. I like it!

[xavifran7]

utter fuckry but its a great catchy tune...fifa 05

[jvfran2]

yep, on my psp, lol. FIFA has great soundtracks.

[isjoe10]

he stole those dance moves from Ian Curtis.

[ogodtheaftermath555]

the lead singer looks like the bad guy kid in the karate kid.

[walkingthecow]

holy crap...he does!!! Sweep the leg Johnny.

[DreamsInPixels]

I absolutely love this song and video is so great!!! Can't wait for the next album!

[renerazz]

next album... are they back together??

Can anyone help me find osomething with them? I only have the Golden album... I sit in Denmark, so its hard to find something!

[DreamsInPixels]

Someone in the comments mentioned hat they'd broken up a few years ago...I did a search online and found that it's true, they're no longer together. :0( Their new group is called Goat Explosion and there are a few videos on Youtube featuring Goat Explosion...hope that helps. :0(

[renerazz]

Thanks but I knew all that. That was kind of a dead end for me too. I would love to have something with Goat Explosion (which btw also was the name before signing with Sony), but cant find anything, though there are some SWEET songs here on youtube, but in bad qual...

[doni718]

you're not serious... goat explosion?

[cmom07]

I love Elkland!!! I love all there songs I have there CD that I bought when they opened for Erasure @ the Grove in Anahiem...too bad there no longer together :(

[SharaLynn84]

I love this song... it takes me back :-D

[rob1977nc]

I like how they're doing tribute to the Flock Of Seagulls' video.

I've also heard the "Fernando Garibay Remix" of this song....very nice!

[odyn64]

i <3 it !!!!!!

[serginater]

I like the singer's dance moves!

[TheFreakyStyler]

this clip is just perfect for the song...

[netosalv]

U like the band or dont like the band, u must say it is a very good video. reminds me of that bruce lee movie where hes in the room with all the mirrors. jajaja Good song man!!!

[ericKostonTheboss]

everbody who doesn't like this song. FUCK OFF

[BallisticFaceGuy]

@ericKostonTheboss Shut. The FUCK. Up.

[xanthein22]

haha the lead singer looks like the blond "cool guy" in karate kid!!! (you know the one on with the gf and and the scoccer team! ...

[xanthein22]

saw them open for erasure ... lol they were amazing

[jvfran2]

erasure and elkland must have been a heck of a show!

[forkhead]

One of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot! Elkland was really impressive and I bought their CD that night.

[naida4586]

fucking cool band .............

[osidlo]

raw as fuck

[elizabethsochko]

this is gay as fuck

[noface18]

he has talent and is doing something with his life, unlike yourself you homophobic bitch!

[ericKostonTheboss]

[dameandrake]

they are pretty sweet dance moves

[castmj]

I like this song and video. Jon dances funny doesn't he?

[roboshobo]

These kids are genius. Love it.

[jquinn9]

holy fuck. whoever edited that is a genius!

i bet all the members of the band had a giant orgy after the shooting of this video
