A new decade and still ’80s nostalgia appears to be in no danger of waning any time soon. Case in point: new wave-loving Brooklynites the Drums, who are shaping up to be one of the breakthrough bands of 2010.
The band has a steady buildup of buzz, thanks largely to the new single “I Felt Stupid.” The song is pure Robert Smith, from the jangle-y guitars right down to the faux British accent adopted by singer Jonathan Pierce. It’s anchored by an infectious electro pulse, but what really seals the deal is the euphoric chorus, Pierce’s voice rising in desperation as a he sings, “Stay with me / I wanna hear every beat of your heart.”

We’ve just interviewed Jacob (guitarist) from The Drums if you’re interested in his take on things at the moment:
