Peace - Delicious

Peace like showing off. That’s why music fans love them. They try hard and they do it big. This is what has been severely lacking in the musical landscape that is rife with bands not trying hard because someone decided it was cool not to try. Peace are deciding it is cool to try. This EP is the four B-Town boys bashing out the big guns.

Breakthrough track ‘Bblood’ is revamped and renamed ‘Blood Shake’, but there are no doubts that it’s still a hip-shake inducer of the highest degree. The centre piece of the EP comes in the surprise form of ‘California Daze’, the song where Peace day-dreamed their way into the big leagues of classic song writers. From its harmonies right down to its life-affirming lyricisms, it has the potential to be a lot of people’s favourite live moment of future festivals to come.

Opener ‘Ocean’s Eye’ doesn’t quite live up to the dizzying heights of the previously mentions songs, but it does suggest that Peace will soon have an instantly identifiable sound of their own very soon. How does a band end an EP that has so much hype and expectancy building around it? Write a ten minute epic, of course. ‘1998 (Delicious)’ swirls, repeats and yearns until you are hypnotised.

It doesn’t get any bigger or bolder than ‘EP Delicious’ when it comes to new bands of today. In a way; this reviewer hopes that other bands don’t take note of what Peace are doing because it’ll be saddening to see bands try and top their sense of ambition.
