Indie rock
Indie rock

The Drums is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Youth Group, The Maccabees, Amanda Lepore, The Smiths and Joy Division. Those roots explain a lot about how The Drums arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Surf Curse, The Buttertones, Hot Flash Heat Wave, Porter and The Vaccines, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kings of Leon, The Big Pink, Matthew Dear, Dentist and Edwyn Collins, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around The Drums, reaching back through Youth Group and forward to Kings of Leon.
