COMPETITION: Win Peace Tickets – O2 Academy, April 27th

So, unless you’ve been living in a Birmingham musical bunker (without WiFi), you’ll know Peace are playing at the O2 Academy on Sat 27th April.

You’ll know they have a hotly tipped debut album out – ‘In Love’ (BhamReview will be reviewing post gig), you’ll know they’re on a UK tour, and you’ll probably know someone who knows someone who went to school with one of the Kossiers.

But you might not have ticket, so Birmingham Review are giving away a pair of passes – CINDERS, YOU CAN GO TO THE BALL.

All you have to do is answer the following question. You don’t even have to get it right, if you make us laugh (cry, vomit, fall over) you stand a good chance of winning. Here goes:

Q: Birmingham Review last saw Peace support Editors at the Institute in June 2012, but what ‘decoration’ is reporter Holly Pyke hoping they won’t have on stage this time?

Ah the possibilities…

Answer by ‘Liking’ the Birmingham Review Facebook Page & sending a Direct Message, or emailing info@birminghamreview.net

Please include contact details & a phone number. Winners will be announced on Friday 26th April.

Peace play the Birmingham O2 Academy on Saturday April 27^th. For tickets and info, visithttp://www.o2academybirmingham.co.uk/event/51414/peace-tickets

PREVIEW: Peace @ O2 Academy, April 27th

PREVIEW: Peace @ O2 Academy, April 27^th

Recently returning from Europe, Peace play the Birmingham O2 Academy on Saturday April 27^th.

Currently on a substantial UK tour, Peace will play a total of 20 dates throughout April and May – finishing with the Live at Leeds Festival on May 3^rd.

Peace are on the road promoting their debut album, ‘In Love’, which was released through Columbia on March 25^th

Originally forming in Worcester in 2009, Peace are now at the epicentre of the current Birmingham band focus; alongside other acts such as Troumaca, Swim Deep and Jaws. Birmingham Review first saw Peace supporting Editors in June 2012.

Championed by the BBC, and given a slot on the BBC Introducing Stage at the 2010 Nozstock Festival, Peace have continued to carve out a significant place the UK music media.

Promulgated by some, venerated by most; the Indie Rock four piece were picked up by the national print media after their self online release of ‘Bblood’ in January 2012.

Their debut EP, ‘Delicious’, sparked another flurry of platitudes – with their second single, ‘Wraith’, charting at No75.

But like any good snowball, Peace’s attention has been both precarious and rapid; with ‘In Love’ the hasty outcome.

And as pundits throw around careless hyperbole, at another genuinely promising young band, fingers remain crossed as a crucial festival season approaches.

** COMPETITION: Birmingham Review will be giving away tickets to see Peace at Birmingham O2 Academy. Check the website, Facebook page or Twitter feed – from Tuesday 23^rd April**
