"I TRY to work until I can't work any more, then take a break. Although, last time I took a break I ended up actually breaking my hand in Bushwhackers."

Harry Koisser, Doug Castle, Dom Boyce and Sam Koisser have been on a rollercoaster ride for the last few years that doesn't seem to be slowing down.

The Worcester quartet — better known as indie band, Peace — are about to embark on their biggest ever tour.

Starting from humble gigs in local pubs during their years at Worcester Sixth Form College as November and the Criminal, in the last five years the band has performed to thousands at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, supported a number of huge names and sold out their own headline shows.

Harry, who grew up with his brother in Droitwich, said: "We recently released our second album, Happy People, and are about to do our biggest ever tour where we are headlining a number of dates around the UK. Starting in Liverpool on September 24 and ending in Wolverhampton Civic Hall on October 10, it's going to be very busy but amazing.

"We've sold out a few dates already which feels insane.

"One of the craziest things recently was playing Glastonbury. We played the festival in 2013, and it was great but everyone was just sort of staring at us, trying to figure us out. This time was totally different — there were so many people singing along to our songs. It was amazing."

But not one to forget his roots, Harry came back to Worcester recently.

"I came back about a month or so ago to see one of my friends for his birthday," he said.

"We went on a night out and ended up in Bushwhackers. We were just having a laugh and were really drunk, when my friend fell on top of me and broke my hand. I had to go to hospital, but that weekend we were playing a gig in Benidorm supporting the Libertines. So we had to get a replacement guitarist in for that gig. My hand still hurts now.

"I'd love to do a show in Worcester sometime in the future as well. It seems like five minutes ago, not five years ago, since we were were playing to the same seven friends again and again in the Firefly. And now we're playing to thousands. But we've worked hard, and we aren't planning on slowing down any time soon. After this tour we're going to start work on the new album, and who knows where it will go from there."
