- 2021! Here’s the kicker: I’m 67 freaking years old - my friends (the few I still have) would never listen to The Drums and certainly not Joy Division or The Smiths. But then I like Beach House, Sigur Ros, Sylvan Esso. Stay eclectic, my friend!

[@TeacherLailaChris]

2024

[@holodais9067]

2009-2013 Was the best era for The Drums. I think after Connor left there was a few years that the live act was awkward and overall not good. This lineup now though is really fun and interesting. Although not having Jacob is a bummer. I do like this opportunity now for Jonny to showcase songs that are written by himself. He is a genius when it comes to creating guitar pop.

[@gorillakillaaa]

I honestly think this album blows all the previous ones out of the water...

[@p.alexlaflam-mcfall2975]

Yeah, Portamento is an absolute masterpiece!

[@SimonRobeyns]

It seems his voice improved a lot though. They sound much better live now it seems.

[@GlamRockTiger]

He's got a great voice, & a Bjork shirt to boot!

[@ssseeeliiin]

I've been to The Drums concert a few days ago. No need to say it was amazing. But the best part was when I was waiting in front of the doors 1 hour before the concert, and still no one was there (actually people were in the bar nearby). And suddenly the doors opened in front of me and Jonny appeared with his boyfriend Keon. I was like holy shit. I felt like my legs couldn't support me anymore, lol. Then, instead of greeting them, or asking for a picture, I just turnt away from them haha. Best reaction ever. Then I watched them go away, I was happy and sad at the same time. Weird feeling.

[@captainchumbuwumba5835]

Mephista Pheletica oh my that sounds awesome and funny cx

[@juno8286]

Ahhh my kind of reaction when I suddenly meet my idol haha feel you dude

[@samrjw8693]

I travelled to see the drums and stayed in a hotel over night. In the morning they were in the lobby as they'd stayed in the same hotel. Jonny gave me a hug, it was awesome

Man I can't say thank you enough to KEXP. They're always bringing some great live performances/bands. And I can't believe it's already been 3 years since this aired and decided to check it out. The Drums were one of five bands I listened to the most during high school after this. So glad I got to see them (or rather Jonny) touring Brutalism and now going to see them play Portamento fully live. Much love to everyone else here who loves The Drums :)

[@carlosyampufe2783]

La voz de Jonny como ha mejorado con el tiempo, realmente me ha dejado impresionado. Se extraña al grupo original pero no deja de ser una extraordinaria banda. Perú los ama chicos !

[@edwinortizlopez1090]

I got to see these amazing guys live back in 2019 in Orange County but I wasn't into their music (unfortunately), I was dating my ex-gf and I went to their concert cause she loves these guys. Anyway, we were going through a rough time when we saw The Drums live but it took 2 years for me to be obsessed with them!! The only great thing my ex left me... she introduced me to The Drums and now, can't get over these guys. Now, you might think their music reminds me of her... it reminds me that she likes them but doesn't bring back memories. In fact, I'm creating new and unforgettable memories now with their music!! Love these guys!

I was listening to Pulp just now and something about the drums in one of their songs made me think of another band. I had to dig in my saved songs forever to find the band. It was these guys. This ig going to drive me insane until I find the exact song. (Pulp - My legendary girlfriend)

I can't believe it took me this long to find these guys..omg..

[@mnrradioshow5566]

Just saw The Drums last week in San Luis Obispo at the Fremont Theater (with Alvvays - equally fantastic). Jonny Price lit up the sold out crowd! His performance here, while great, is dialed down compared to his SLO show. It was like seeing the second coming of Morrissey watching him dance all over the place that night. They did basically this same setlist plus three. Crowd went crazy on Money, Down by the Water. The sold out crowd was loud and into it... Total singalong. After seeing so many obvious fans my impression of the band has changed a little. I'm guessing these guys (Price) have dedicated fans everywhere. Such a great show!
