The Maccabees - Toothpaste Kisses - Single Review

The Article has images
2008-01-04 07:30:23 by Gerard McGarry in Unreality Music
Toothpaste Kisses is our first encounter with The Maccabees here on Unreality Music Its a very old-sounding, stripped down song. Apparently the normal Maccabees sound is a much more lively punk noise . Instead, Toothpaste Kisses is a simple track mostly focusing on singer Orlando Weeks vocals and an understated mostly acoustic backing more

2008-09-21 16:05:00 by Mona in quickcrit - music reviews
...Maccabees They're so derivative that if I walked into their sound check I'd say "Whoa! You sound great, but could you tone down the Bloc Party ?" before inevitably getting thrown out. This sounds bad, but sometimes music with little inventiveness and/or no real surprises can provide the same comfort we get from watching our favorite movie...

...Maccabees, so I headed to Cafe Midway instead, where I caught the last song from The Jealous Girlfriends and realized they might be really, really good. Then I got to see Illinois rock out before jumping to the Blender Theater at Gramercy for another late night session, this time with The Maccabees and Band of Horses. Craziness. Tonight will...

...Maccabees - Colour It In Yet another Brit Post-Punk Revival band to crack the Top 50, The Maccabees put together a more complete albums than the aforementioned groups along with a few key tracks.

...Maccabees- Colour It In: If I'd given this a few more listens, it probably would have flown into my top 20. Unfortunately, I never really gave it the time of day. I'll quote my brother on this (a HUGE fan): "I see this album as the coming of a really great band The Maccabees- Latchmere Band Of Horses- Cease To Begin: To the trained ear,...

...Maccabees, Bowerbirds, Illinois , Band of Horses, and a lot of other bands that neither you nor I have heard of. Should be a fun time, and shooting for CMJ rather than paying $500 for a badge for the week is definitely worth it. Anyway, none of the above bands are featured this week, but there are some great tunes below, including the...
