The Drums exploded out of New York and onto the indie scene proving that guitar music is far from dead with a mix of new wave surf pop and angst driven wall of sound. Let's Go Surfing, their début single, released on Moshi Moshi features New Order-style trebly, melodic bass, Ventures-esque guitar, and possibly the most infectious whistling line since Peter, Bjorn and John.

With their explosive live show and a sound and image that are at once familiar and brand new, they were soon dubbed "New York's official coolest new band" by NME and began receiving international radio play. Their self titled début album stormed the charts last Summer and they are back again this year on the festival circuit showcasing their talents and to cement their status as the most exciting new musical force around today.
