Putting aside NME's hyperbole in chasing the next big thing, they do hit on interesting bands once in a while.
Case in point: The Drums. Young band from Brooklyn that fuses 50s/60s surf pop with the Factory records sound, plus alpha. They cite The Smiths as an influence on their Myspace page. So do a thousand other bands, I'm sure, but I like what I hear. Not a bad looking bunch of lads either.
Their extensive tour even brings them to the Manchester Academy in Feb.
