The Maccabees

Kamakura

New Single Out 26th of February 2016!

Having just completed their January UK headline tour including three sold out shows at Brixton Academy, The Maccabees release their brilliant new single ‘Kamakura’ February 26th on Fiction Records.

Live favourite ‘Kamakura’ is taken from The Maccabees latest LP ‘Marks To Prove It’, and was one of the earliest songs written for it. Felix White explains, “it came to life by merging a piece of music written on tour in Japan based on a day in Kamakura itself, and lyrics distinctly opposite, about kick-out time in British high street pubs”.
