The Maccabees

I am a huge fan of this band, however since the release of their second album "Wall Of Arms" in 2009, The Maccabees have been relatively quiet in terms of new material. 

The Maccabees, a five piece indie rock band from London, UK first got noticed with their debut single "X-Ray" from their debut album "Colour It In." Although, like mentioned earlier, this band has been quiet, they have recently announced they will be releasing their third album "Given to the Wild" on 9th January 2012.

Don't let their lack of new material put you off though. The Maccabees have still been performing a lot over the last year and have been the support act for a number of bands including Bombay Bicycle Club and The Drums. The Maccabees this year have been playing a number of warm-up gigs and have thus far proven to be better than ever. Most of their warm-up gigs were sell outs, and so I would definitely suggest buying tickets for their gigs asap.  

In terms of their actual gig I can tell you it will definitely be a hugely energetic show with a lot of crowd surfing, mosh pits and sweating! You have been warned!
