The Maccabees will now spend a third night at the Brixton Academy in London after adding an extra date due to what is, as always, described as ‘phenomenal demand’.
The band are now due to play the third concert in London on January 23rd 2016 having previously added a second gig in Manchester to their original run, which launches after the UK number one success of ‘Marks To Prove It‘ in the summer. The latest single from the album – ‘Spit It Out’ – is released on November 4th.
“The standout moments come as a pair,” our review reads. “‘Something Like Happiness‘ is more than anything else here reminiscent of their earlier records, but comes with a maturity, a slight darkness and an unshakable brilliance that is all ‘Marks To Prove It’s own.”
“This is followed by the brilliant rage and fury, the shifting and jagged beauty of ‘WW1 Portraits‘. It hits hard, very hard indeed.”
