Does anyone here listen to The Drums? I put on 'Let's Go Surfing' before swimming lessons in the morning.

I remember hearing around the time their first album came out they learnt how to play guitar because their music just wasn't working with synths. Did they continue down the guitar path or did they go back to synths?

Yes I was a fan of this band. Check out their second album which I really like and is perfect for summer days (Portamento). Still very guitar based.

I'll give it a listen. I've started getting other Drums songs recommended and I've been like, 'nope, I'm sticking to the one sing I know.' But I'll branch out more
