Delicious Indeed


Following in the long line of great bands from Birmingham, England, such as Duran Duran, The Beat, Ocean Colour Scene and Editors come a new quartet simply called Peace.  My first thought upon hearing 'Bloodshake', from their recently released (in the UK) four song EP Delicious, was that it was a decent song that showed promise, but a bit too Two Door Cinema Club for my liking (although it has grown on me with repeated listens).

Then, 'California Daze' shows up to knock me square on my ass and leave me constantly hitting the repeat button.  Starting off subdued and gradually building to include Beach Boys-esque oooh and ahhh harmonies and a ripping solo, this is the perfect lazy summer day anthem that just happens to arrive as the days get shorter.  Brilliant stuff!



Before signing with Columbia Records, Peace released a very limited (only 500 copies) 7" single entitled 'Follow Baby' which I also like quite a lot.



Good things are coming.  Thanks for reading!
