“Drums Keep Bangin'” is a captivating rocker from Tequila Sirens, the new project from Shaun Curran (formerly of Soft Pyramids). The project’s new Redesigner EP was written and produced at the Napoleon Complex in Somerville, MA, alongside a cast of musicians from the Boston area — namely Dwight Hutchenson (Soft Pyramids), John Nolan (Folk Physics), Brian McCarthy (B. Francois), and Tyler Drabick (Otis Grove).
As the EP’s centerpiece, “Drums Keep Bangin'” shows ample reason to get excited by Tequila Sirens. Suave vocals and sweltering guitars, fit for a nighttime prowl, establish a murkily enjoyable introduction. A lovably creepy bridge rounding the one-minute mark leads to playful guitar fuzz and punctuating keys. “Oh you never held me upright, if you’d only disappear,” the vocals sing suavely here, with the “how was I supposed to know?” section thereafter succeeding with a chilling organ backing. “Drums Keep Bangin'” engrosses with ease.
