Today!!!! ... The Drums is an American indie pop band formed in 2008 in Brooklyn, New York by Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham. The band is signed to Minor Records. In 2008 Jonny and Jacob came up with the concept for The Drums, and Pierce moved to Kissimee, Florida, where Graham resided at the time, so that they could more readily collaborate. They then moved to Brooklyn, New York, in the spring of 2009, where drummer Connor Hanwick and guitarist Adam Kessler joined the band to complete their live sound. The band had their first gig within a week of arriving in Brooklyn at Cake Shop NYC as part of the NYC Pop Fest. In October 2009, the band released their first EP, Summertime!, with 6 songs. Their debut album was officially released on June 7, 2010, on Moshi Moshi and Island Records. The album contained the singles Lets Go Surfing, Best Friend, Me and the Moon and Forever and Ever, Amen as well as Down By The Water, which had previously been released as part of the bands Summertime! EP. They released Portamento, on September 5, 2011. The album title has a deeper meaning for Pierce, as he describes, “Jacob and I meeting as young boys with a shared love for Kraftwerk and Anything Box and Wendy Carlos, and these were all synth pioneers, and a common feature on old analogue systems was ‘Portamento’. On July 17, 2014 The Drums announced that their third studio album would be called Encyclopedia and will be released September 23, 2014. Enjoy the single Money from the album Portamento (2011) :)
