SHOCKWAVES NME AWARDS TOUR: THE DRUMS
Ubiquitous in this year’s One’s To Watch lists, New York City-based outfit The Drums fuse the rain-soaked monochrome of late eighties Manchester with the sunkissed pop of California to startling effect on their debut EP. Dazed & Confused said Summertime! ‘took the Sun Records blueprint, added some parochial wit and peppered it with flashes of synth pathos’ which sounds pretty much bang on to me. Look out for their debut full-length later this year.
