The Maccabees. Five gents from South London who you probably haven't listened to. Shame on you. These Englishmen released their first and only album so far, "Colour It In," in May 2007. A couple of their songs bounced around the British charts in the #30-40 area, but they have yet to fully break into the American scene. Their only exposure stateside was a quick tour with Bloc Party, also in 2007, which culminated in a sold out show back across the pond in London. These guys are edgier than The Kooks, way cooler than the Arctic Monkeys, and are definite indie dance-rockers. Personally, I only know about them because two of my good friends happen to have grown up with them in London. Here's "About Your Dress."
I can't resist giving you one more. They're bloody brilliant. This one's called "Mary," and you'll be glad I added it. Cheers.
PS: Don't worry, they aren't done. Lucky for us, they are in the studio right now wrapping up their newest album, "Wall of Arms," due to drop in April.
PPS: Thanks to Joe and Alex, my favorite Brits.
