Peace - Live Review

Peace - O2 Academy, Newcastle (12/12/14)

Callum Thornhill

Question:
UK tour, Reading & Leeds main stage slot, supported the Libertines, and now supporting Bombay Bicycle Club. Where do Peace go from 2014?

Answer:
An almost fully sold out UK tour and new album.

From what we have heard from the new album it is going to be another amazing year for Peace.

The tracks already heard are World Pleasure (which seemed to come out light years ago before a video was finally put up on Friday), Money, Lost On Me, and latest track - Gen Strange.

All of these sounded incredible on Friday night during their Bombay Bicycle Club support act slot.

These combined with the classics of Lovesick, Follow Baby, and Wraith was all the Newcastle crowd got from Peace.

It was a real shame for folk like me who were going only to see Peace, however from what I heard I was most definitely impressed by their live performance as per usual.

Koisser's presence on stage of being both a massively talented vocalist, guitarist, and all round cool had the crowd bouncing - a rare sight for a support band.

If you are lucky enough to have tickets for Peace next year you are in for a treat!
