Peace: ‘I Don’t Like The ‘B-Town’ Word’

There’s been a lot of talk about the ‘B-Town’ ‘scene’ of late, but not all of Birmingham’s bands are fans of the newly coined phrase.

‘I just don’t like the ‘B-Town’ word anymore, I’ve heard it so much,’ Peace singer Harry Koisser tells DIY. ‘I’d rather something like… ‘Best Midlands’.

‘The thing is, anyone that’s from a place that begins with B thinks that it belongs to them, you’re sort of making any town with a B in its name think that they’re the shit.

‘Me and Cav [McCarthy] from Swim Deep would often use it before it was coined as a thing. And it’s a bit weird that something that was a social jokey term is being spread nationally.’

Read the full interview in the December 2012 / January 2013 issue of DIY, available now.

Peace will follow up their recent release ‘EP Delicious’ with a new single, ‘Wraith’, due on 13th January. Give it a listen below.
