Then you should say nothin' more at all...

The Maccabees, an indie band from Brighton who released their debut album two years ago. That debut was full of excited, happy and joyous occasions from the wonderful 'Latchmere' to the heartfelt 'First Love'. Each of the songs had something about them, something that made you smile each time. The basslines were funky, the guitar was twangy and the vocals were shouty and melodic. 'Colour It In' was a great album. However, by the sounds of it, these guys have been playing about in the studio. There is something much, much darker going on with this new tune, 'No Kind Words'. They have obviously felt hard done by at somepoint and this is more of a rant than a dance-able indie tune. Of course, even if it is a bit biting in places, you can still get on down to it without any trouble. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. It'll be interesting to see if this bitter twist continues. I like it. It kills off the fluff and gets to the grit.

Here is a video of The Maccabees 'No Kind Words'. The guys are on tour in March and May, check out the MySpace for more details on that one. You can download 'No Kind Words' for free there. Or on the official website.
