The Maccabees slice of previously unreleased music dropped after they told their fans to expect "something" this week.

The Toothpaste Kisses five-piece took to Instagram on Tuesday (14th October) to share a video of throwback footage of the band on throughout the years, alongside the caption: "Something coming this Thursday 16th October."

The Maccabees tease “something coming”

Fans will no doubt be hoping this release means we can expect more new music from the band, who previously teased that they felt "good" about making music together.

Speaking to The Independent earlier this year, guitarist Felix White said: "There’s a good feeling about it,” adding: “It’s tempting…”

“Everyone’s in a good headspace and connecting with each other, and that’s allowed it to be stronger,” noted his guitarist brother Hugo.
