The Maccabees
Toothpaste Kisses

Fiction

WE SAY

Toothpaste Kisses is the fourth single to be released from Brighton band, The Maccabees', debut album. Colour It In is making all the right end-of-year lists, with Artrocker making it their album of the year, Drowned In Sound shortlisting it for the same and a nomination for the inaugural XFM New Music Awards. Toothpaste Kisses also features on a Samsung mobile phone advert which is now running. This has just been added to both the XFM and Radio 1 upfront list 7 weeks upfront. Far from an overnight success, this could be the release that makes 18 months of work under radar pay off - it's certainly a song good enough to place them in full view. JF
