The Next Big Thing (No.5) : Peace
Some say that guitar-driven music in the U.K. is about to die. Even though there are some bands that are defending this kind of music such as Foals & The Maccabees, hearing British band with good guitar music is such a rare experience these days.
And then a quartet from Birmingham, Peace, came to the rescue. They have taken the airwaves since last year with their debut extended play, Delicious. Their first single, “Follow Baby”, is a mixture of Madchester-esque melodies and American alternative sound. Their other single, “Wraith” and “Bloodshake” contains a catchy guitar riff. It was like a newborn baby of Foals and British 90s music.
Their debut album, ‘In Love’, is about to come out next week (March 25th) and there are lots of people expecting something out of this album. Guardian and NME have listed them as “band to watch” and “purveyor of 2012’s catchiest song”. BBC have listed them in the “Sound of 2013” list.
Their album was produced by Jim Abbiss, the producer of Arctic Monkeys’s “Whatever People Say I Am….” And contained re-recorded version of 3 of their hits such as “Wraith”, “California Daze”, and of course, “Follow Baby”.
So, are you ready to follow them to the airwaves?
