It has to be the best gimmick I’ve heard of in quite some time... a band called Drummer made up of guys who all drum in other bands. The most well-known among them would have to be Patrick Carney (Black Keys), the other dudes come from bands such as Teeth Of The Hydra, Beaten Awake, Six Parts Seven and Ghostman and Sandman. I know one thing... I wouldn’t have wanted to be the drummer in this band! Imagine the shit that guy would dumped over him if he messed something up! Thanks to the distant vocals, keyboards that find a way into the songs and the wiry, fuzzed up guitars “Feel Good Together” sounds like a lost album by some 90s indie rock outfit whose members were raised on a strict diet of 70s rock. Okay, so the songs tend to blend together after a couple of them have rolled by but fans of Pavement and the likes should have a blast listening to cuts like “Every Nineteen Minutes” and lead single “Diamonds To Shake”. And you know what? The drumming is pretty good on this one.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
