  • God, what's so wrong about being hipster?! We listen to amazing bands such as above and wear ace clothes :)

  • @SpursFC4Ever

    Hipsters don't call themselves hipsters

  • Arctic Monkeys, The fratellis, The kooks, Vampire weekend, Tokyo police club, Two door cinema club, The strokes, Modest mouse, The temper trap, The violent femmes, Biffy Clyro, Muse, Hard fi, The pigeon detectives, The vaccines, The dandy warholes, The libertines, Keane, The la's, we are scientists (loads more but can't remember them on the spot, plus I didn't go into other types of genres)

  • I have Gibson Thunderbird :)

  • i thought orlando had a bun then i realised it was a hat!! cant wait to see these tomorrow night :) last time i saw them live was 5 years ago!

  • Echo and the Bunnymen, The Sound, Killing Jokes...

  • The Limbo crysis rocks way much more than this... ¬¬.

  • 2.42 - 2.54 - Those trumpets! Now that's quality playing/production. They should have repeated though - what a musical moment. Transcends all musical genres - Mozart would have enjoyed that.

  • @MegaSuperPeach

    I totally agree. Can't seem to find a reason why they shouldn't have repeated that part. But eh, it's their song, and it still rocks :)

  • Yes, I like this band and its music very much!!!!!!!

  • please check out my songs if you like pleas like and subscribe we just starting out and this will real help thank you ;)

  • best uk band since the stone roses. rock is alive.

  • @06RPB I completely agree about best band, but they're more alternative/indie than rock.

  • lol fucking hipster bs, musical value = zero

  • @s3177000 Shut up you blonker. If you don't like this amazing song, why did you waste your little energy on typing your fat fingers and deciding to complain. Go get a life.

  • Fuck knows why, but I've only just started listening to their second album. It's soooo good, it appeals to the Foals and Bombay Bicycle club fan in me.

  • lol they sound like fish

  • @hanafish07 loll

  • @hanafish07 Now, I want to see the type of fish you have been seeing. I didn't even know fish could speak our language let alone sing, mind blowing. (sarcasm)

  • The Smiths, The Rumble Strips, Regina Spektor, Mumm-ra, She & Him, Radiohead, Bombay Bicycle Club, Anberlin, and....THE MACCABEES! Lovely tunes, I must say

  • @SpursFC4Ever Anberlin is an odd one to throw in that group! Still a good band though.

  • @SpursFC4Ever The smiths, Regina Spektor, Mumma-ra, She & him - 500 days of summer fan much?

  • For a second, I thought that was Morrissey singing. This guy sounds just like him!

  • Comment removed

  • makes me want to poop

  • check out Mystery Jets if you like The Maccabees :D

  • <3

  • :O!!!! i like!

  • Please put the Wall of Arms album on the American iTunes. I need it!

  • I love you I love you I love you I love you

  • I've already found a new band and I think they will become my favourite band!

  • Radiohead, The Smiths, The Libertines, Oasis, The Strokes, One Night Only, Joy Division, The Maccabees <3

  • @JoeyJizzable Good selection there, especially Radiohead, can't go wrong with them

  • @JoeyJizzable One Night Only?

  • @JoeyJizzable omg yes, all great!!

  • @JoeyJizzable Completely agree with all those bands, I'll personally throw Muse in there amongst them ^^

  • @JoeyJizzable foals,the courteeners

  • @JoeyJizzable Arctic Monkeys, Varmpire Weekend, The Cribs? :)

  • Travis whom I love are just so lacking in substance compared to these. These lot you can tell eat haggis and drink tonnnes of whisky. Are proud of their heritage through and through! Also they have the look of extras from the video of come on Eileen, by dexy's madnight runners. Not neccesarily a bad thing!

  • Smiths,Roses,radiohead,oasis,s­trokes.libertines,maccas!!!!

  • @SuperRandalman their new track 'pelican' was played for the first time on radio one yesterday, so not far off..

  • i thought it said 'i love butter'

  • @siebenny

    HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!

  • @siebenny So did i... Lovely butter!

  • @siebenny are you retarded?

  • @cawthy07 probably 

  • @cawthy07 i think im lisdexic

  • @siebenny that might of been slightly funny if you had of actually used the right letters but mixed them up but instead you cant spell so you actually are retarded

  • @cawthy07 actually poor spelling is often a part of dyslexia!!!!!!!!!!! don't be a pendant! they're usually massive douche bags!!!!!!!!

  • @siebenny haha i bet 20 quid u had to google how to actually spell dyslexia before coming back with that comment,..... and wtf is a pendant

  • @cawthy07 mmm i spelt it 'dislexia' and and spell check kicked in... it didnt work last time because it obviosusly lysdexia isnt a word... "A pedant is a person who is excessively concerned with formalism and precision, a person who overemphasizes rules or minor details, typically used with a negative connotation, indicating someone overly concerned with minutiae and whose tone is perceived as condescending" basically a wider term for a grammar nazi!!!

  • @siebenny hahahahaha are you sure you dont mean "pedantic" as in being pedantic

  • @cawthy07 nah its a word look it up !!!!!

  • @siebenny hahaha first of all you said "pendant" which is an item of jewellery and then to top it off you sad cunt you copied exactly what it said from wikipedia and wrote it here, you obviously didnt know what it meant before you thought of it you mong

  • @cawthy07 well sorry for making a typo, i obviously knew wheat it meant, how else could i have used it , eh oi2r;fq3otih i give no fucks anymore

  • @siebenny you only knew what it meant after youd googled it you gimp

  • @siebenny jajajaja idiot (:

  • @siebenny Who doesn't love butter?-lol

  • check out 'the low suns' i just found them the other day and they remind me a little of this...

  • @BelgianBass His vocals are similar in this song.

  • does anyone think orlando sounds the tinyiest bit like morrissey?

  • love it!

    

  • I can't believe that I haven't discovered these guys sooner, I saw them by chance watching Channel 4's on track last night - they blew me away

    They covered Walking In the Air from The Snowman - brilliant.

  • Great band that are still very much underrated ! Real genuine guys met Orlando at a dj set he did at Old Queens Head pub in Islington a month ago and Felix with his dad lol in a cafe near my sixth form college. Felix reckons the release date for the new album could be September :)

  • He pulls off that Beanie and earring like a Boss!

  • How does he pull off that hat and earring?!

  • All the guys in this band are hot :)

    

  • singer rips off arcade fire

  • @Supaduck0 maccabee's were around way before arcade fire

  • @Supaduck0

    yeah when i first saw this i was like, huh this sounds so much like arcade fire. I think they were indeed influenced by arcade fire because they formed in 2000 and the maccabees around 2004.

  • @Irisholly

    Was produced by the same guy that did Arcade Fire's previous album so that's probably why it sounds similar :)

  • The trumpet section from 2.42 - 2.55 is just a sublime musical moment - finest 13 seconds of music I've heard in a long time. BUT they should have repeated it at least one more time - this sort of musical joy doesn't come along very often - they should have induldged themselves and us for just a little longer.

  • @MegaSuperPeach it's okay, but you obviously haven't listened to much music??

    it's not quite so mind blowing, you disappointed me.

  • @MrMusicman1192

    Oh deary me.

    

  • 1:48 totally from the WALL-E soundtrack or somethin like that

  • this Was really good thanks, Was really pleasant to Watch. (yes, my W only Works in capitals)

  • need to get this to a million views, they're way too underated.

  • first album was awesome, i would put it up there in top 10 i have brought, yet the second album was such a disappointment

  • I love this song so much. I can't stop listening to it.

  • lol, @ 1:53 he looks like frodo

  • I love this song, it stirs my soul!

  • all round great band but how does the drummer keep making up such catchy beats?

  • Orlando you just make my knees go Weeks luv you toooooo Hugo White, Felix White,

    Rupert Jarvis last but not least Sam Doyle xX

  • Oralndo Weeks, you are an amzing human being with such a unique voice..

  • the singer sounds so much like the arcade fire singer its unreal

  • NICE

  • i love the maccabees - such a brilliant group.

    ah and Felix White (L)

  • i like the video =]

  • Love them. They have such a mature/old sound, but aren't they like pretty young?

  • that little look Felix gives at 1:17 melts my soul.

  • I will never grow tired of this song. Perfect.

  • Love this. It has a sound similar to Big Country. 

  • he'sshagging someone at 1:04

  • @nathanbird94 HAHAHA nice.

  • love this sound

  • i miss this song, back when i was a school i had a half hour walk there and i would just listen to the maccabees, the courteeners and the cribs all day on my ipod. but now i lost all my songs and cant remember the names of most of them =/

  • @WormEatsBeefl Just download all of their albums.
