Ahead of their third album, Encyclopedia being released on 22nd September American surf rockers, Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham aka The Drums have revealed I Can’t Pretend as their new single. The bittersweet ode to the battle of heart versus head, I Can’t Pretend is only a glimpse into the bands new music.
“Encyclopedia is full of magic and surprise while maintaining a serious, more weighty tone throughout,” says Jonny. “We were feeling very angry, confused, and alone when we made this album; and we wanted to be very honest this time around, even if being honest meant making some people uncomfortable. We’ve left the beach for higher ground, always searching for hope.”

November 19 – Manchester – Gorilla
November 20 – Glasgow – Art School
