The Maccabees - Colour It In

Steve plays The Maccabees' 2007 debut album in full, introduced with a classic interview with the band.

Steve plays The Maccabees' 2007 debut album in full, introduced with a classic interview with the band.

The south-London five-piece delivered on the promise of some exciting singles like About Your Dress, Precious Time and First Love with an album recorded in away from their hometown, by the sea in Brighton. The result was an album mixing indie dancefloor fillers with Orlando Weeks' romantic lyrics, plus one of the only songs written in tribute to a local swimming pool. Featuring several different editions of the artwork in different colours, this record started a run of four albums over the following decade with the band's star rising with each release.
