Everyone has guilty pleasures, but I have a guilty addiction. I’m completely obsessed with “Gossip Girl”. The dramatic story paired with the dramatic outfits are a great combination to keep me at bay on a Monday night. Little did I know that my guilty addiction would put me onto a band helmed as the new-age The Cure by listeners and praised as the band to watch by B.B.C. and Rolling Stone. It’s the New York-based indie band, The Drums. Their breakthrough, “Down By The Water” narrated the drama in that faithful “Gossip Girl” episode and instead of the storyline, I was fixated with who it was I was listening to. Once I hit the web, I was shocked to find their self-titled record is filled with eclectic, pop diddies that nod to 50′s doo-wop to 80′s synth rock. It’s a beautiful collage of eras and love songs that you can’t help but be addicted to. I caught up with Jonny Pierce of The Drums to only further intensify my addiction with this revealing Q&A.

I discovered this fantastic song on the last episode of “Gossip Girl”. Picture me; in my PJ’s living vicariously through the world’s favorite New York socialites and suddenly I hear the soulful crooning and hypnotic harmonies of Brooklyn, New York based indie band, The Drums. If heaven had a sound, it might sound like this.
