Crikey O'blimey thank the lord for City of Thieves! I very much appreciate today’s wave of new metal, but... the whole rock genre has been crying out for the next AC/DC, Airborne type raw rock band and City of Thieves could well be it. If you like unabashed denim rock and an old school tour shirt, then this could well be the way forward.
With the band making their live debut at this year's Camden Rocks Festival and also confirmed for Bloodstock Festival, Legends Of Rock and the increasingly cool Planet Rock ROCKSTOCK festival they really seem to have hit the ground running
This five track offering is really on the money, produced by Little Angels Toby Jepson, this is a band that has really set sights on a gap in the market that we want to see covered, this type of quality Rock n Roll is never going to lose its appeal if done right. Loud proud and unpretentious it is a glorious smorgasbord of rock rilff and raw vocals.
With the support of the Planet Rock empire this is, potentially, the new face of genuine rock. Loud proud and acceptable to play unsociably loud in your car. Rock horn salute is alive and well in these guys hands. Invest the time to check these guys out, you won't be sorry
