This is hands down my fave track on the new album. I have been a fan since 2006. Anyone remember Goat Explosion? Short but oh so sweet. The Drums encapsulate for me what has been missing. Something fresh and vivid. I can't quite put my finger on it but I feel like I am in an other worldly place when I hear their music. I have seen them live twice and cannot wait for the third time!!!
@JPJPJPJAMESJPJPJP The whole live performance has got better! the guitars sound so much better with a bit of overdrive on them. This is by far the best lineup for the band! Can't wait to see them next week! :D
@shawniemar the wake are the drums favourite band. they even interviewed them on this channel. early wake stuff is post-punk akin to early new order/late joy division. mid-eighties stuff is less raw with more synth but still amazing, late-eighties stuff is twee pop/indie pop when they signed to sarah records. i implore you to listen chronologically, and start off by listening to the song "on our honeymoon". it would be amazing to have some more fans of the wake :)
@shawniemar your friends with the feelies? christ, i've only just got intto them but they're amazing. i only have on eyeless in gaza song on my ipod. i'll definitely look them up. i'm only 20 now and cool older people get jealous that i have more music knowledge than them haha
You forgot The Ocean Blue.. and the Beach Boys!!... but its true what you say..I LOVEthe DRUMS.. and all those GREAT BANDS too!! Especially Joy Division/New Order!!
@UltimateVenom Yes, I understand that - my daughter is 13 and has much more advanced tastes than her friends, who are into the mainstream crap--ugh. She likes the Drums too. Got her into Guided By Voices early on & I remember asking her, when she was little, what lullaby she wanted me to sing. She said Hot Freaks by GBV. Dave Weckerman from the Feelies was my boyfriend back in 1988/89 & he's still a best friend. Def listen to more Eyeless in Gaza. Wonderful stuff.
@UltimateVenom This the second part of the first message: As far as the 80's - I was in my 20's then and heavily into the above-mentioned bands and the whole jingly-jangly guitar thing like R.E.M. (up to Life's Rich Pageant), The Feelies (I'm friends with them), and then I was swept away by New Zealand's Flying Nun label. Incredible stuff! But one of my favorite bands then was Eyeless in Gaza. Do you know of them? Listen to Faceless and Veil Like Calm. Phenomenal!
@UltimateVenom Wow! I'm pretty lame because I am a fan of many of the bands who started with Factory (or stayed with Factory), of course the obvious ones like Joy Division & New Order, but also The Railway Children, Kevin Hewick, A Certain Ratio, Section 25, Durutti Column, OMD, Stockholm Monsters, and I'm sure I'm leaving some off. I guess the Wake just passed me by. I'm like what I hear.
this sounds so good live

this is a great song to cruise on a longboard to
sin palabras para describir la sintaxis de mi cuerpo cuando escucho a THE DRUMS...
los vere en el CORONA CAPITAL...
Visiomento was life

You forgot The Ocean Blue.. and the Beach Boys!!... but its true what you say..I LOVEthe DRUMS.. and all those GREAT BANDS too!! Especially Joy Division/New Order!!
