Reviewer Reviews...New Band Recommendations No. 1

Peace
Who The Hell Are Peace?
Peace are a band from Birmingham, UK, with the least Google-friendly name in the world. They are seen by many as the leaders of the new B-Town scene, which includes Swim Deep and Jaws. They are signed to Columbia Records, which shows what the industry thinks of them.

But Are They Any Good?
Peace are great. They are not just another guitar band. Their tropical fused indie is like nothing else I've heard before. And it sounds awesome too. Tracks like Bloodshake underline this, and they are also not to bad at covering. Their mah guitar cover of Vertigo by The Libertines is commendable, but not as good as their cover of electro classic 1998 originally by Binary Finary.

Where Can I Get Their Stuff?
Their EP Delicious is out now. It is amazing, and expect a review soon. As for an album, expect one in 2013, although singer Harrison Koisser explained, 'We need some to tell us to stop watching Gilmore Girls and write some songs!'

FYI
They are AWESOME live, and confetti cannons come included with the ticket price...

Marsicans
Who The Hell Are Marsicans?
Marsicans are a band from Leeds, UK. They sound like a cross between Two Door Cinema Club and Vampire Weekend, which is obviously a great thing. Marsicans do upbeat, high buttoned addictive songs which I keep coming back  They're stuff is also akin to Little Comets, especially highlighted in Scuba, a very fun and bubbly track.

But Are They Any Good?
Marsicans, as I said sound very much like already established bands out their, but the combination of influences is nothing I've ever seen before. And although the Northern voice doesn't sound quite right on some of the African sounding tracks, I still really like Marsicans. I think they'll be the next big thing.

Where Can I Get Their Stuff?
They have released a number of singles, as well as Clocktail, a four track EP which can be downloaded from their Bandcamp. Enjoy!
