In today's MyMetro NYC newspaper, 10/20/10 Interview with The Drums
You were initially an electro outfit - why the change?
Johathan and I have been listening to electronic music since we were kids. I think we started to collect old synthesizers when we were 12 years old so we felt kind of exhausted with the idea. A lot of our favorite bands, like New Order, did a similar thing and grabbed guitars without really knowing how to play them.

A few of Johnnys old bands songs from "Elkland" have a very new Order influenced sound for example, the tune "Talking On The Phone" sounds a bit like the village.
