peace - in love

I bought the Peace album yesterday, after having waited for the release for a while! Peace are an indie rock, 4 piece band from the Birmingham music scene and have been likened by some to Foals, The Maccabees and Surfer Blood. Their music has a very youthful and summery feel which is so uplifting and easy to listen to. They have great guitar riffs and strong drum beats, so much so it would be hard not to fall in love with their sound. Here is Higher than the Sun, which is the first track on the album.... In love? I sure am.

Peace are on tour at the moment, so check out their website for dates and details... http://peaceforeverever.co.uk/shows

I've got this album on repeat today, such a great sound.. chill out music to remixes to strong bass this album has it all.

The repeated line from the Gwen Stefani song "this s*** is bananas" acts as a motif throughout the tracks and neatly ties the album together and also the remix of "call me maybe" is such a breath of fresh air after, after hearing the original to such an extent on the radio. The other tracks are all great, at very least take a listen. Then download them. 

jaws
