I noticed them first via the video for no kind words, largely due to the appearance of the gavin and stacey bloke. Then I Will Love You Better blew me away, but having listened to their debut album I thought they may be a one of two song wonder band like a large majority of so called indie acts. However having finally started listening to the second LP this past 49 hours, it is a VERY good collection of songs, and this is a stand out with a beautiful final refrain.
@UpTheBracket420 brave little man hurling insults behind a computer screen. does your mammy know you're playing on her computer? Jealousy eats away at you until there's nothing left of your soul. Get over it little man.
@ultrasions Fender Telecaster Thinline (1972 reissue, not 1969). You can only get them left-handed (like Felix's) from Fender Japan, but there is a Mexican right-handed one available for $800 USD.
Has a little bit of Fiest, some Andrew Bird, a dash of Sufjan Stevens...and a little of some other bands/artists that I'm having trouble thinking of right now...
it annoys me that they dont receive the attention they truly deserve! we've got soo many crap acts in the charts getting attention when most of them dont even write their own stuff, and then you get a band like the maccabees who work so hard and are soo amazing, and they are still a small band approaching their third album??? too many rappers and processed x factor acts for me!
@emily80253 because the situation is worse in the USA. I'm a British citizen in the USA and the music industry over here is just awful. Rap music gets the fame and good bands are not even known. At least in the UK Radio 1 and that put a clean eye on what is good and what is bad
@DeanVictorMusic I can believe it, it took Kings of Leon years to get recognised over there didn't it? Whereas over here it was immediate fame from their first album!
@emily80253 Hopefully I can get into Warwick University and start a band up there. I have a band that has won many competitions over in New Jersey and everyone wants me to make it, but it is impossibly hard. Seems easier there in UK.
@emily80253 I agree totally, but even in terms of other 'indie' acts the maccabees are just far and away the cream. Such good songwriting, brilliantly performed, and they are amazing live too.
Im in love with the maccabees oh my i cant wait their third álbum i want it now i can wait

Frankly, your third album needs to hurry up. I cannot live without new Maccabees sounds! You're amazingly good.
