Drummer, a new anonymously named band with a starry connection, includes Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney. But maybe even more intriguing is the pedigree of the rest of the group. Axmen Jamie Stillman and Jon Finley hail from The Party of Helicopters, a defunct outfit from the Keys’ home state of Ohio. POH, which has played a few reunion shows here and there but isn’t properly active, was a hell of a band—its singular blend of emo-inflected indie rock and Fucking Champs–style shred deserved a much wider audience than it garnered. Fortunately, that incendiary mixture is also on display in Drummer. Here’s the title track from the band’s debut, Feel Good Together, due September 29 on Carney’s Audio Eagle imprint.
