The albums, tours and events to look forward to
The Maccabees' new album: It's been a long wait since 2012's Given To The Wild - but their fourth LP is finally coming next year. Orlando Weeks recently said: "It feels more self-assured. I feel confident in it - I feel confident singing it. I feel like it's got a really nice mix of all of our different inputs, and that's the thing that takes us longest to get our heads around, trying to accommodate all of those different tastes."
We're now so far past the point of people discussing whether or not 'guitar music is dead'. Guitar music has and will always be fine.
