Xfm Winter Wonderland stars The Maccabees have added two new dates to their January 2012 UK tour...
Indie whooping. Is that a term? A style of singing? Probably not, or if it is, please let us know, but it is one we've used to dub the flurry of acts that use such a similar vocal style. The Maccabbees, new act T H E S L O W D O W N and now Wooden Pigs all rely on the same drawling vocals that are fired scattergun at the audience in such a way that you can't help but be swept up by them. With a style that meshes the very best of Orlando Weeks' (Macabbees) [...]
The Maccabees recently finished up their 'return' tour of the UK in early November, which was the first time in a long while the Brighton band had brought their frenetic sound back to the fold. It may be hard to believe if you still have the bouncy melodiousness of 'Love You Better' in your head, but it's been nearly 3 years since their second, 'Wall of Arms', which received critical acclaim across the board including 4 stars from the Fly, Gigwise, the Guardian and the Observer. So this new album, 'Given to the Wild' to [...]

Here is the first listen to new music from The Maccabees. The Maccabees new single 'Pelican' will be released January 1st 2012, and it will be followed by the bands 3rd album Given To The Wild which will be released January 9th 2012. Check out the albums tracklisting, teaser video, and take a listen to 'Pelican' all below. Pelican sounds like a well polished tune, and it really puts The Maccabees back on the map in a big way.

Tweet Has a bad live performance ever ruined your opinion of a band? Sadly it's happened to me several times and The Maccabees almost shared the same fate. I'd been a big fan of their last album Wall Of Arms but then I happened to stumble across their set at Reading 2010. They were painfully dull. Now there were mitigating circumstances (one might claim); the weather was wet and windy, they were on the main stage at about 3pm (not [...]

Posted in Soundbite The Maccabees, they've been gone for awhile haven't they? Or maybe it's because there is just so much music around it feels like forever. Their new track 'Pelican' was debuted by Zane Lowe last night. It's not a huge departure from their previous stuff, which is fine by me (if anything it does sound 'bigger'). [...]

Wall Of Arms was a great record. It was a record that deserved to push The Maccabees firmly into the mainstream, as well banish the belief many had that they were merely litter (pretty litter at that) floating gracefully over the Indie Landfill. While it went the entire way in doing the latter, it never quite propelled them as expected. Given To The Wild then, needs to repeat the trick as well as build on the growing momentum that Wall Of Arms gave the band. Pelican , the [...]
Brighton-based indie band The Maccabees return with their third album Given to the Wild on January 9 (Fiction UK), a project that's said to be influenced by the disparate likes of Kate Bush, The Stone Roses and David Bowie. Lead single "Pelican" is a twitchy, breathlessly off-beat rocker with some killer harmonies and a melody that seems like one long, extended razor sharp hook. Tim Goldsworthy and Bruno Ellingham (Massive Attack, LCD [...]

Hace algunas semanas comenzaban a surgir los primeros detalles de lo que será el nuevo y esperado trabajo de The Maccabees , Given To The Wild . Tres años han tardado los británicos en volver con un trabajo que pinta muy bien y del que ya recibimos un adelanto en forma de teaser . Compuesto por 12 temas, ese preview nos supo a poco. Afortunadamente ahora, con más de 1 mes de adelanto respecto al álbum, nos llega el primer bocado en condiciones en forma de sencillo. **"Pelican" ** [...]

Após o lançamento de dois álbuns elogiados e de conquistar o status de "queridinhos" da conterrânea NME, os ingleses do The Maccabees já prometem um início agitado de 2012 com o lançamento do novo álbum Given to the wild no dia 9 de janeiro. O álbum, que já havia conquistado um longo e misterioso trailer , seguindo seus princípios naturalistas, acaba de se revelar através de uma música cujo nome não foge ao tema: Pelican . Pelican , que teve sua estreia de gala na rádio BBC, parte da mistura [...]

einst wurden the maccabees als das nächste ganz große ding gefeiert, aber nach dem 2009 erschienenen zweiten album wall of arms wurde es ...

Oh hi. So The Maccabees, owners of b3sci's #4 track of 2009 returned today with "Pelican". For starters, "Pelican" is noticeably more upbeat, uptempo, lighter, than much of the material on The Maccabees last LP Wall of Arms . Is "Pelican" is a sign of what's to come on LP #3? We like the darker Maccabees; but if the quality on a potentially more "keyed up" new LP is at a level with "Pelican" consider us, at the very least, interested to hear more. The Maccabees - Pelican [...]

Debo decir que hubo un buen rato en el que estuve en conflicto con The Maccabees cuando lanzaron su debut "Colour In It" hace ya 4 años, me eran demasiado, no se, no encuentro esa palabra que pueda describir mi sentir en ese entonces pero conforme los fui escuchando mas y mas me di cuenta que realmete eran buenos, ahora, cuando aparecio su segundo album "Wall Of Arms" mi opinion y sentir sobre ellos cambio abismalmente. En el note que por fin habian encontrado su sonido o al menos, la madurez como banda se les notaba a la [...]
