The Drums – Money

The Drums - Portamento

The Drums have been one of those bands that literally came out of nowhere like a bolt out of the blue. Since their debut in ’09 the band has garnered a trove of fans world wide. This go round there has been a few changes: guitarist Adam Kessler has exited the band, drummer Connor Hanwick now wields the guitar, and former guitarist Jacob Graham is tickling synthesizers. But don’t be alarmed, everything’s in its right place. The former Floridians sound better than ever, no joke. With the release of their sophomore album Portamento, the band embraces a more synth heavy sound. Yet still remain true (I’ve heard it) to the nuts and bolts of what drew fans to them in the first place.  I love the track “Money” (it should be the official broke person’s theme song). Portamento drops tomorrow (today in the UK, DRATS!), and like any die hard fan I’ve already pre-ordered it on iTunes (Bonus track version of course). At this writing I am waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve, no joke. Peace.
