New Music From Drummer
Drummer makes us 'Feel Good Together.'
A band comprised entirely of drummers you say? Brings to mind that smartly dressed high school drum corp. you snickered at during Homecoming games. They might have seemed geeky at the time, but hot damn most of your favorite bands were all geeks and outcasts. Painful teenage memories aside, Akron, Ohio's Drummer have crafted a snappy set of songs ala Built To Spill and Silkworm.
It's hard to think of drummers going solo and making good. There's Ringo of course, and The Replacement's Chris Mars come to mind. I'll even give you Peter Criss from Kiss. C'mon, "Beth" is the "make-out song" of all time! Drummer is made up of drummers from a stable of Akron's cream of the crop indie bands, including The Black Keys' Pat Carney, who plays bass.
The title track from debut Feel Good Together is a wispy little number, accented with some fine Farfisa organ and strolling guitar crunch. Drummer are sure to keep your foot tapping along to the parade march.
