Peace's latest album Kindness is The New Rock and Roll is a record brimming with sure fire future festival favourites, and opener "1998 (Delicious)" does exactly what it says on the tin; serving as a tasty, seductive appetiser for the night ahead.

New single "Power" demonstrate lead singer Harry Koisser's ability to capture the splendid imagery of the opening line: “ Hey wake up and smell the lavender, and my flower power technicolour massacre”, backed on vocals by an explosive drum beat.

Another gem comes in the form of "Silverlined", an emphatic ballad that impresses with an epic mid song guitar solo. A highly polished rendition of Leonard Cohen’s classic "Hallelujah" is a bold move that pays off massively with the crowd, while their own "You Don’t Walk Away From Love" sends Kentish Town Forum absolutely berserk.

The gorgeous ambience of "California Daze" from their debut record is still utterly fresh. Closing song "Bloodshake" erupts, the chorus sung in sheer ecstasy - closing off the night with one brilliant climax.
