The Drums

The Drums are currently on a headline tour of the UK and are about to release single and live favourite, ‘Me and the Moon’ on December 13th.

The American indie pop band from Brooklyn, New York, were also nominated for “Best New Act” at the Q Awards 2010, which followed the news the band were voted NME’s “Best New Festival Band” (polling 25% of their readers’ votes) – the latter coming after a succession of thrilling UK festival shows including Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds, T in the Park, Oxegen and their support slot with Kings of Leon at Hyde Park, London.

Music-News caught up with Jonathan Pierce (vocals), Jacob Graham (guitar) and Connor Hanwick (drums) and talked of Adam Kessler's departure, how they are not a surf rock revival band, and walking.
