The Drums are offering a free MP3 of their cover of Arcade Fire's "We Used To Wait" which was performed live at BBC Three Live Lounge with Huw Stephens. Want it?The band also released a new video for album track, "Down By The Water," watch it here and will hit the road on a national tour with Surfer Blood this month.
Produced by Brian and Brad Palmer of SURROUND and The Drums the video reflects the bands vision of elegant simplicity. Both the video and song are a tribute to the girl groups of the 50's and 60's, a great inspiration to the band and one of the reasons we started it, explains the band. A true departure from earlier singles the band slows the tempo showing their versatility with this new track.
