WE LIKE PEACE

Peace use guitars to their advantage and throw together upbeat rhythms with distorted atmospheric whooshes. They manage to sound big, whilst retaining the finer details of their sound. The vocals add a hazy blur to the music; cryptic sentences sang with equal measures of conviction and laid back attitude. Also judging from the healthy doses of ‘ooh’ on their single “BBLOOD”, they aren’t afraid to have some fun with pop music-ish structures in amongst all the guitar driven mystery. Don’t worry, this love for Peace isn’t all based on one track, their live show has been witnessed by this humble writer. Let it be known that they have much more up their rolled up shirt sleeves. If you haven’t had the chance to see them live yet, it is advised. They have managed, in all their youthful wisdom, to combine the mass appealing sound of the guitar with that all important edge. Their visual aesthetic is rather disorientating but don’t let that put you off their music, give Peace a chance.

QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION:

Are they romantic mix tape material? YES. If you want to yearn for your lover but aren’t very good at yearning, let Peace do the yearning. Just whack “BBLOOD” on the tape.

Are they party playlist material? NO. Deal with it.

Should you go and tell your friends? YES. Then you can all order one of their t-shirts with arguably the best logo ever.
