Cold Hart to join The Drums on tour

The Drums are building momentum for their new singles, Plastic Envelope and Protect Him Always. The band's founder Jonny Pierce spoke briefly on the meaning of the song in a general press statement, stating:

“‘Plastic Envelope’ is about the pain that comes when your trust has been violated and the dread of not knowing if you could open your heart again the same way. The second song, ‘Protect Him Always,’ is an apology to the young boy in me, who I try my best to protect, knowing that when I get hurt, he gets hurt all over again"

Joining The Drums on the summer tour will be American rapper Cold Hart, born Jerick Quilisadio, who is based in Los Angeles and best known for his work with the emo rap collective Goth Boi Clique.
