The mighty Maccabees are about to return.
They've finished work on their new album and, as a taster, are giving away a blinding new track hot from the studio.
"No Kind Words" will be available to download from www.themaccabees.co.uk following its debut play on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show on Monday 9th February, 2009 at 7.30pm.
The five-piece play their first live dates of 2009 with two club shows in London in February and an Xfm Presents at the Barfly on 5th March prior to their headline tour. They will play London's Electric Ballroom, their first London headline since the triumphant sold-out Roundhouse show at the end of the Colour It In tour in 2007.
