The Drums announce second single: 'I Felt Stupid'

After playing their first ever UK show to a packed-out, hugely excitable crowd at London's Flowerpot venue last month, The Drums cemented their arrival as major new talents and look set to be one of hottest bands of 2010.

The four-piece, complete with their two female backing singers (in matching outfits no less) played an exceptional set which showcased some brand new songs including highlight 'Best Friend', plus debut single 'Let's Go Surfing' and tracks from their 'Summertime!' EP.

The Drums' second single 'I Felt Stupid' is set for release on November 23rd through Moshi Moshi. 'I Felt Stupid' is near pop perfection with its swooning lyrics, huge soaring melodies and giggling children's voices. Taking the unlikely templates of 50s surf-rock and Factory Records as inspiration and mixing in a new wave sound, The Drums are purveyors of some of the most exciting new sounds to come out of the US this year. As the saturation point of female-fronted electronic acts has surely been reached in the UK, The Drums arrive with a brand new sound.

The Drums return to the UK for a string of shows later this month including In The City Festival in Manchester, and headline shows at the Barfly and Koko in London.

The Drums' 7-track EP is out on Dec 7th on Moshi Moshi Records (the label responsible for launching Hot Chip, Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires, Kate Nash and Late of the Pier amongst others).

The Drums are currently in New York City and are hard at work on their first LP.
