The Maccabees' Felix White: 'New Album Proves Something To People Who Slagged Us Off'

Brighton-based indie rockers The Maccabees have told fans that there brand new studio album will be a slap in the face to those who slagged them off previously.

The new album, entitled ‘Given to the Wild’, is the third studio album by the band and will hit shelves on January 9th. But, although they won over a fair few fans back in 2007, when they released ‘Colour It In’, they also received a lot of criticism – and now guitarist Felix White wants to repay those fans who stuck by them until now.

Band guitarist Felix White explained to This Is Fake DIY: “It's like, we're proving something to the people that slagged us off on the basis of the first album, for those people that saw something in the band.

“It's definitely an ambitious album. With the last record, while we were writing it, we'd look to play a few songs to people, just sort of gauge it. And with this one we didn't do that, we just ploughed through and concentrated on it, but with enough of a view to how it would translate.”
