I’d listened to the Drums’ record, but it didn’t nearly prepare me for their live show. It was a far more… Anglophile than I expected. Really their show seemed like NME had gotten total control of a group. They were a sonic mix of the Strokes and the Arctic Monkeys, coupled with the aimless, limp swagger of a lot of English frontmen as of late. It was a great set to hear, but not the greatest to watch.
