Biography

The Drums are an American band from Brooklyn, New York, with members stemming from the shortlived band Elkland (formerly Goat Explosion). The band is currently on the Moshi Moshi (UK) Popfrenzy (AU) label.

Immediately on the heels of the end of Elkland, frontman Jonathan Pierce started The Drums with former Goat Explosion member Jacob Graham of Orlando's Flashlight Party. "Let's Go Surfing" was the lead single from the band's debut EP, Summertime!. Vocalist Jonathan Pierce told Q magazine that the song is not about surfing itself, it "is more about the spirit behind surfing."
