So, what are The Maccabees up to at the moment?
“We’re working hard at the moment. We’re trying to write our second album, so we’re full spending all our time in the rehearsal rooms trying to get it done as quickly as possible really.”Your debut album Colour It In only came out in May. Why have you decided to get working on the second LP so quickly?”We want to get the second album out as quickly as possible rather than let the first one hang about for too long. We have fans who’ve been into The Maccabees from the start and a lot of those songs have been toured for two years, so it’s important for us to have these new songs out for those guys.”How’s the new album progressing? Is it very different from Colour It In?”It’s still at the beginning, so we can’t really tell what it’s all going to sound like, but it is coming together. It’s going to be different, though.”Are you surprised by the positive reaction to your new single ‘Toothpaste Kisses’? It’s getting lots of exposure on the radio and on the music channels.”Yeah, it’s amazing.
