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" View this post on Instagram Instagram PostJoining 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.The full list of dates and venues for The Drums Summer tour is given below:July 12, 2023 – San Diego, California, at House of BluesJuly 14, 2023 – Los Angeles, California, at The ShrineJuly 15, 2023 – Las Vegas, Nevada, at Area 15July 16, 2023 – Phoenix, Arizona, at Van BurenJuly 17, 2023 – El Paso, Texas, at Lowbrow PalaceJuly 19, 2023 – Dallas, Texas, at Granada TheatreJuly 20, 2023 – Austin, Texas, at MohawkJuly 21, 2023 – Houston, Texas, at White Oak Music HallJuly 22, 2023 – New Orleans, Louisiana, at House of BluesJuly 24, 2023 – Atlanta, Georgia, at Terminal WestJuly 25, 2023 – Nashville, Tennessee, at Basement EastJuly 27, 2023 – Carrboro, North Carolina, at Cat’s CradleJuly 28, 2023 – Washington, DC at 9:30 ClubJuly 29, 2023 – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at Theatre of Living ArtsJuly 31, 2023 – Boston, Massachusetts, at RoyaleAugust 3, 2023 – New York City, New York, at Webster HallAugust 5, 2023 – Detroit, Michigan, at St. Andrew’s HallAugust 6, 2023 – Toronto, Ontario, at Danforth Music HallAugust 8, 2023 – Chicago, Illinois, at MetroAugust 9, 2023 – Minneapolis, Minnesota, at VarsityAugust 11, 2023 – Denver, Colorado, at BluebirdAugust 12, 2023 – Salt Lake City, Utah, at Psych Lake City at Urban LoungeAugust 14, 2023 – Seattle, Washington State, at The ShowboxAugust 15, 2023 – Vancouver, British Columbia, at Fortune Sound ClubAugust 16, 2023 – Portland, Oregon, at Wonder BallroomAugust 18, 2023 – San Francisco, California, at The Regency BallroomTracing The Drums and their CareerThe Drums was formed as a collaboration between Jonathan (Jonny) Pierce and Jacob Graham in 2008 and released their first EP, Summertime!, on September 15, 2009.
