Indie rock
Indie rock

The Maccabees is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Peace, Mystery Jets, Edwyn Collins, The Big Moon and The Drums. Those roots explain a lot about how The Maccabees arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jamie T, The Vaccines, The Courteeners, The Enemy and The Futureheads, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Bombay Bicycle Club, The Big Pink, The Drums, Noisettes and Stereophonics, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 40 connections around The Maccabees, reaching back through Peace and forward to Bombay Bicycle Club.
