The Drums' Jonny Pierce: I Hate U2 And Coldplay

The Drums frontman Jonny Pierce has said he hates bands like U2 and Coldplay because they dabble with politics.

In an interview with Q, Pierce said he was not very political and that he had no plans to impose his opinions on the band's fans.

“It's really boring to me. I hate U2 and Coldplay, bands that can't be bands for the life of them. They can't just write great songs, they have to be doing other stuff, a statement all the time,” he said.

“I don't mind certain statements, but U2 haven't released a good record in ten years, why don't they just run for office? [laughs] Just write me a great love song, that's all I want!"

The Drums are currently preparing for the release of their new album 'Portamento', due out on September 12.
