Our Take

The Maccabees' sophomore effort, "Wall Of Arms," is a delightful blend of indie and post-punk influences that showcases the band's growth and maturity. From the infectious melodies of tracks like "Love You Better" to the introspective lyrics of "No Kind Words," this album is a captivating journey from start to finish.

Lead singer Orlando Weeks' distinct vocals soar over the band's intricate instrumentals, creating a dynamic and textured sound that is both nostalgic and innovative. The production on "Wall Of Arms" is crisp and polished, allowing each layer of sound to shine through without overpowering the overall feel of the album.

The standout track on the record is undoubtedly "Can You Give It," a high-energy anthem that will have you bopping along from the first note. The Maccabees' ability to seamlessly switch between introspective ballads and infectious bangers is truly impressive, showcasing their versatility and talent as musicians.

Overall, "Wall Of Arms" is a solid sophomore effort from The Maccabees that will have you hitting repeat from the moment you press play. With its catchy hooks, poignant lyrics, and infectious energy, this album is sure to appeal to fans old and new alike. Don't sleep on this one, folks - The Maccabees are here to stay.

About the artist

The Maccabees

The Maccabees may sound like a biblical boy band, but trust me, these lads are far from preaching to the choir. Hailing from Brighton, this indie rock outfit has been making waves in the music scene since their formation in 2004. With a sound that is both anthemic and introspective, The Maccabees have captured the hearts of fans and critics alike. Their debut album, "Colour It In," was a burst of youthful energy, while their sophomore effort, "Wall of Arms," showcased a more mature and emotive side to the band. But it was their third album, "Given to the Wild," that truly solidified The Maccabees as one of the UK's most exciting bands. With its lush production and poignant lyrics, the album took listeners on a sonic journey that was as beautiful as it was haunting. The band announced their split in 2016, much to the dismay of their fans. But fear not, Maccabees lovers, for they have left us with a legacy of music that will continue to inspire and move us for years to come. So, whether you're a seasoned fan or a newcomer to their sound, do yourself a favour and dive into the world of The Maccabees. Trust me, you won't regret it. These boys may not be walking on water, but they sure know how to make a splash in the indie music scene.
