Genius Q&A
When did The Maccabees start making music?
Community Answer
The Maccabees's first song “Toothless (Live Recording)” released on August 1, 2004.
The Maccabees were an indie rock band from London, England, founded in 2004. The band came up with the name by flicking through the Bible and picking out a random word. They announced their breakup in August 2016 – citing having reached a “creative peak” as the explanation, rather than any fallings out.
