I try to keep a logical sequence with the blog posts. For example, the posts on Saturday and Sunday were about Caetano, yesterday about Omo, which has Caetano as one of its musical influences and today The Drums. When there’s not a way to keep it, I start all over again.
But what The Drums, a surf band from NYC, has in common with Omo, an European band of experimental indie? It would be closer to Peter, Bjorn and John, right? What attach them is the simple fact that both songs were released in 2009: they are freshy. ;)

The Drums was formed in 2008, after vocalist Jonathan Pierce have almost given up a rock star career. Now that he joined with his childhood friend Jacob Gaham, the drummer Connor Hanwick and the guitarist Adam Kessler, seems to be reaching his dream. And with great style: In the band’s MySpace there is a selection of reviews of the biggest magazines in the industry with first-class critics:
“New York’s official Coolest New Band...this might be the most contagiously energetic NYC band of the past 10 years.” — NME
“One of the best indie pop debuts of the year” — Rolling Stone
“best new rock’n’roll band in town.” — The Deli Magazine
In SongFacts.com I found this info about the song composition: “Vocalist Jonathan Pierce was asked by Q magazine November 2009 if he actually can surf. He replied: ‘I’ve surfed a couple of times but I can only stand being in the ocean for five minutes before I go running for the sand. ‘Let’s Go Surfing’ is more about the spirit behind surfing’.”
Some people are calling “Let’s Go Surfing”, “the most infectious whistling line since Peter, Bjorn and John”. It’s becoming a great hit. And you can enjoy it now!
Wake up
It’s a beautiful morning
Honey, while the sun is still shining
Wake up
Would you like to go with me?
Honey, take a run down to the beach
Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don’t care about nothing
Wake up
There’s a new kid in the town
Honey, he’s moving into the big house
Remember
When I was so very hopeless
Darling, he’s gonna make it all better
Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don’t care about nothing
Down, down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet, sweet baby
I’ll never let you go
Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don’t care about nothing
Oh, mama
I wanna go surfing
Oh, mama
I don’t care about nothing
