'Here Come The Drums', the highly anticipated second album from Rogue Traders, is sweet vindication of their self-belief and their creative integrity. Two years in the making, self-written and self-produced, 'Here Come The Drums' is the sound of a band finding their voice within the genre that they were perhaps least associated: punk rock.The inclusion of Bassingthwaighte as a fully-fledged new member is central to the Rogue Traders sound and their band persona. Whereas their debut album had four different vocalists, 'Here Come The Drums' (with the exception of 'Casting Aside' which is sung by Ash) is the vocal sound of Natalie Bassingthwaighte. Vampish, coquettish, spontaneous and inspired, Bassingthwaighte snarls and seduces, teases and taunts with a rawness that is exhilarating. "I wanted to bring my personality into the band," says Bassingthwaite. "I wanted to colour it, to make it very rock, but also make the vocals very character based. I can be very outrageous, and the songs let me go out there and just explode".'Here Come The Drums' may be a deviation from the group's straight dance roots, but Ash's background as a DJ is all over the album. "I'm very aware of keeping the energy going in a room and knowing when is the right time to push a crowd and when is the right time to let them go a bit. And that definitely came into play when arranging these tracks and seeing how it was all going to work".
