Track of the Week: Peace - 'Money'

If 2013 taught us one thing; it was that there is assuredly something jubilant in the depths of Birmingham's water supply. A prime example of B-town's triumph in breeding up some of the most exciting newcomers in the world of music? Peace. From the moment we heard Bloodshake it was crystal clear that we were onto something. The audacious tribal-style drums, the riff of all riffs, the ridiculously catchy chorus and all those 'oooooh's.' Over twelve months later, with a sophomore album on the way, the unlikely Brummie four piece have surpassed all expectations and it's safe to say they are now sounding like mainstage material.

Greeted with an unusually sophisticated guitar hook, we're immediately swept away by Peace's brand spanking sound that's certainly had a revamp on the maturity front- but do not fear, those signature Britpop inspired drums that we heard on 'Waste of Paint' and 'Follow Baby' haven't gone walkabouts and despite the cultivation in sound, Peace have definitely not lost their mojo when it comes to conjuring up the catchiest of choruses. Frontman, Harrison Koisser has certainly upped his vocal game as he croons, in a kind of sung-speech manner, witty lyrics of consumerism and the materialistic nature of the twenty-first century- proving particularly high pitched as he quips "find me something new to chew on."

So, to say Birmingham's finest have raised the bar would be a slight understatement. With tracks like this alongside World Pleasure which was released earlier this year, expectations of the upcoming album couldn't be any higher...
