“Let's Go Surfing” by Drums appears on 3 radio countdowns from 3 stations in 2010. Its best result is #33 on the WLOY Top 50 of 2010. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #377 alternative song of 2010.
"Let's Go Surfing" was the Drums' first single, and it reached British shops on 15 September 2009, leading off their debut EP, Summertime!; it also appears on their self-titled debut album. Jonathan Pierce wrote it, and it's indie pop with sand still in its shoes. Both times it came out, first in 2009 and again on 9 August 2010, it was paired with the EP-only "Don't Be a Jerk, Johnny" as a double A-side, though only "Let's Go Surfing" made the UK chart.
It got around: Volkswagen used a snippet in its ads, The Inbetweeners leaned on it through the E4 sitcom's third series, and in October 2011 NME slotted it in at 60 when it counted down the 150 best tracks of the previous 15 years.
