Weekly Wedge Pick: The Drums - Best Friend
October 15th, 2010
Song: Best Friend
Artist: The Drums
Album: The Drums
Label: Universal Island Def Jam
Because sometimes you just need to crawl through a window, slap on some cool shades, pick up a mic, and sing about your best friend.
Currently based out of Brooklyn, The Drums are the next big British band that aren’t British at all. All of The Smiths (minus Johnny Marr) have shown up to their shows and they spent Thanksgiving with Boy George. How would they describe themselves? “We only write about two feelings: one is the first day of summer when you and all of your friends are standing on the edge of a cliff watching the sun set and being overcome with all of your hopes and dreams at once. The other is when you’re walking alone in the rain and realize you will be alone forever.”
Intrigued? They stop by Toronto this Saturday October 16 for a show at the MOD Club, and Montreal’s Cabaret du Musee Juste Pour Rire on October 17th. Check out their website for more info!
