Peace is a rock band from Birmingham, UK. The group consists of brothers Harrison (vocals, guitar) and Sam Koisser (bass), Douglas Castle(guitar) and Dominic Boyce (drums).[1]

The band started getting attention in early 2012 from publications such as The Guardian and NME. Peace has been compared to The Maccabees,[2] Wu Lyf and Vampire Weekend.[1] They released their debut EP "EP Delicious" through Columbia Records early September 2012.


History

Peace formed late 2011 in Birmingham.[1] In an interview singer Harrison Koisser said the band was started out of boredom and the name inspired by a photograph celebrating the end of World War Two.[3]

Their first song was called "Bblood". In early 2012 the NME included them on their list of bands to watch in 2012[4] while Paul Lester of The Guardian called them "the future of indie".[5] In April 2012 the band released their debut single "Follow Baby"[3] and toured with the likes of Mystery Jets and The Vaccines.[6]

In August 2012 the song "California Daze" was released as a free download, followed shortly thereafter by their debut EP "EP Delicious". "EP Delicious" got positive reviews by BBC and NME.[7][8]

On 9 December 2012, the BBC announced that they had been nominated for the Sound of 2013 poll.[9]

On December 10th 2012, the music video for the single "Wraith" was released.
