The Dram tour in support of recent release

THE DRAMS ON TOUR!
NEW WEST RECORDS “JUBILEE DIVE” IN STORES NOW

Los Angeles, CA – January 2007 – Jam packed with brawny, spirited, hands-in-the-air rockers, stirring anthems and harrowing ventures exploring a culture sapped by hollow heroes and soul-killing, high-tech crapola, The Drams are careening out of Texas to tour the U.S. in 2007. Their New West Records debut, Jubilee Dive— is a welcome jolt of rock and roll that is fresh and vital as it flaunts an effortless command of time-tested rock maneuvers.

Fronted by singer/songwriter/guitarist Brent Best, The Drams’ lineup merges lead guitarist Jess Barr and drummer Tony Harper (from Best’s long-running, alt-everything mavericks, Slobberbone) with singer/keyboardist Chad Stockslager and singer/bassist Keith Killoren (both from Dallas’ Budapest One), and while fans of Best’s previous work won’t be thrown completely for a loop, The Drams’ soaring vocal harmonies, expanded instrumental range and ebullient, hook-laden rock’n’pop adventurousness have taken it all to a new, invigorating level. Be sure to catch The Drams on the road.
