i really try to like the drums. but i always feel somewhat unsatisfied by their music. the very predictable progressions and whatnot. it is catchy but it doesn't have much shelf life. but i can see the appeal :\
Johnny looks a lot like Biff in the 50's in several photos etc. but with some facial features and hair colour from Doc Brown. The others look like other characters from the diner/skateboard scene and the youth social club could be seen as like the diner itself possibly.
This is the song, and video that gives us all some sort of hope for the future. Considering when it was recorded, it is highly poignant given the current economic and political meltown going on in the USA.
this is just a fad, people. will this shit stand the test of time? no way. and seriously...'the drums' is the best name they could come up with? ugh. it seems to me like they are just hopping on the bandwagon to make a quick buck. whatever. i miss rock and roll.
This song was getting played on the radio a lot this summer. It reminds me of waking up in the mornings and turning on the radio half asleep. And coming in in the evenings when it wasn't quite light enough to turn the light on yet, and sitting on the bed doing nothing in particular, and everything smelt of suncream and sweat. One of those songs that will always somehow make me feel nostalgic for a not-very-significant part of my life.
@OhNoezProduction They play that a lot in the UK too... the trick is to source out the less popular radio stations :) They're less afraid of going against what the majority want to hear. I'm not anti popular music, but hell, when I hear the charts I wonder who's buying half the songs, because from the sound of it they're all pre-teens!
@nutellawithpopcorn UK. There's a radio station called XFM that's on FM in London and Manchester, but I live in Devon so have to get it on DAB. Plays a lot of indie, good rock music, some of the better dance tracks, older rock/pop/britpop classics...
the sound it's just perfect, 100% harmony, and innovation..
though they don't have a personal image, they are too predictable while performing... they should give the performances more life, say jokes and stuff like that xP
this has to the most popy, generic, indie stuff ive ever heard .. why is it being compared to joy division? apart from the lead singers dancing, theres nothing 'joy division' about this
Hang on a minute, if they are gfay or straight? Who the fuck cares? Rock n roll man. Take yer homophobia to westminster or somewhere you dumbass mutha. This business is show business and that means, sex business. Take a hike you redneck fuck. This is the best band in a long, long time. As long as they or their management dont fuck up big time, we are talking Beatles, U2, Radiohead, Coldplay all merged into one. I mean it.
lol please left your ugly past cunt ! the drums are better i see ya alive and believe me they´re amazing are better so fuckn much better tha joy division
The Drums is an example of the decline of independent pop music,they can make excellent commercial jingles, but there is absolutely no contribution to modern popular music ...Yankis pretentious and boring.
the better band in 50 years that´s the true fuckers they are the best i see it the saturday was amazing joy division are suckers they are so fuckn died they are the past the drums kicks off many old assses
@karlbarat1 wow you must be one ignorant cock sucker to say that, the drums are amazing yes, but the best band in 50 years, that could never be right, and Joy Division still is better than these guys.
@0mgwtfbbq21 agreed, drums are a fad that will come and go until the next, but, Joy Division is forever. @karlbarat21 is just a kid who has no goals in life.
Who cares about the dance choreography?Lets just enjoy the song.I heard this song while i was in Germany visiting my aunt back in May and this song is adorable.Listening it now brings back fond memories with my aunt.:) ENJOY The song!
I love The Drums Soososoosososoososososo much!!! I'm writing a book at the moment & I've managed to write the album into the story of the two lovers, cos it becomes 'their album'!!!
@InformationTechOne@InformationTechOne swedish bands influence them, such as the tough alliance, my darling YOU! and the embassy. according to them self anyway. :)
Hardcore - front man has awesome swagger. Brilliant song and clip is one of my favs. Apparently their genre is Surfie Indie? lol so many new genres coming out.
Dancing should never be called "gay". It's an ultimate form of self expression. You shouldn't dance to please anyone else, only yourself. "Dance like no one is watching", always!
@hippyking83: Do you see the contradiction in your words? On the one hand you say one should not dance to please anyone else, which implies one should not care what others think about them. On the other hand you are criticizing someone for criticizing someone else's dancing. But wait, I thought people were supposed to dance and not care what others think?
