Having made an instant impact with their debut single ‘Follow Baby’, Peace have gained early support throughout Radio 1 and received praise from critics across the board, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by Columbia Records who have now snapped the quartet up. The band celebrated their singing with a billboard in their hometown of Birmingham (see above). Quite interesting…

“Signing with Columbia means that we are going to pour our everything over the next whatever into creating a record & basically no one can stop us. Not reality nor consequence. It’s a bit like getting knocked up. We just had some unprotected sex with Columbia & we’re keeping it.We demanded a billboard from the label kind of as a joke and they 100% pulled through. It’s one of those moments where the joke goes just far enough before someone gets hurt. No one is hurting.”
