Winter tour for The Drums

Last updated: Monday, 15 August 2011, 12:00.

New York trio The Drums have confirmed a return to the UK later this year for a full headline tour in support of their second album, Portamento, released on September 5th.

For the week of album release, the band plays three intimate, sold out, launch shows in London to preview the new record. The Drums are back in November, kicking off their headline tour in Birmingham on November 28th, then calling at Newcastle, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Portsmouth, Bristol and London. The tour finishes in Manchester on December 10th.

Tickets are on sale at 9:00am on Friday 19th August and will be available here >>


Portamento - released just over a year since their debut - reveals a band tugging lightly at the boundaries of their sound while still retaining their recognizable sonic signatures. Sweet rushes of melody and brittle synthesizer sheens colliding with wiry Spector-esque guitar lines are still very much present, but singer Jonny Pierce's lyrics have assumed a deeper, personal tone and coupled with the band's own more expansive production, Portamento is a more complex, but ultimately more rewarding listen than their debut.
