By the end of this night, I was exhausted. I was excited the see The Drums, but I honestly had no energy left. However, once The Drums came on stage and kicked into their set, I got a boost of energy and was good to go. These guys absolutely bring their A-game live. I really enjoyed their debut album, but the recorded version of their songs do the band no justice live. These guys have so much energy and bite live, it’s not even funny. They were dramatic, aggressive, and ready to rock out. All four of them moved and grooved to each and every song, showing passion and devotion to each and every lyric that Jonathan Pierce sung.
Jacob Graham and Jonathan were both overly theatrical, and it worked. These songs were meant to be sung in such a dramatic fashion, and it seemed appropriate. Jacob moved and spun with each swift guitar riff, making you feel attached to his each and every move. You couldn’t help but keep your eyes on stage. The highlight of the night was the incredible “Down By The Water” which the band absolutely nailed. It was powerful and full of plenty of emotion.
I will say it: The Drums are a live band. They bring an entirely different energy to their live shows. Do not pass up a chance to see them live. They freaking bring it.
