The Maccabees were an English indie rock band formed in London in 2004 by Orlando Weeks, Felix White, Hugo White, Rupert Jarvis and Robert Dylan Thomas, with Sam Doyle later replacing Thomas on drums.
Emerging during the mid-2000s indie rock revival, the band evolved from angular post-punk influences into a richly textured and emotionally resonant sound. Across acclaimed albums including ‘Colour It In’, ‘Wall of Arms’, ‘Given to the Wild’ and ‘Marks to Prove It’, The Maccabees earned widespread critical acclaim for their ambitious songwriting and atmospheric musicianship.
Though they disbanded in 2017 before reuniting in 2024, they remain one of Britain’s most respected indie bands of the 21st century.
