Nothing but Thieves
Nothing but Thieves are an English rock band, formed in 2012 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Conor Mason, guitarist Joe Langridge-Brown, guitarist and keyboardist Dominic Craik, bassist Philip Blake, and drummer James Price. In 2014, they signed to RCA Records and a year later in October 2015, they released their self-titled debut album. Their second album, Broken Machine was released in September 2017, receiving wide acclaim in addition to peaking at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. They released an EP titled What Did You Think When You Made Me This Way? in October 2018, followed by their third studio album, Moral Panic, in October 2020. This was followed in July 2021 by the album's "second part" with the EP entitled Moral Panic II. In June 2023, they released their fourth studio album, Dead Club City, which became their first UK No. 1 album.
Their style of music has been compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley, Foals, Civil Twilight, Queens of the Stone Age, Royal Blood and Muse.
The band's single "Itch" picked up Hottest Record and Track of the Day accolades on Radio 1 and also made it onto the Radio 1 playlist, as well as being added in regular rotation of Sirius XM new hard rock channel Octane. The band were picked by Gerard Way and thereafter Awolnation to support European dates. They supported Arcade Fire and George Ezra at the BRITs show for War Child at the Electric in Brixton, performed at the NME Awards show, and toured with Twin Atlantic, Darlia, and Young Guns on separate support tours across the country. They were also added to a multitude of European festivals including Reading & Leeds and Isle of Wight Festival. In November 2014 they supported Twenty One Pilots alongside Purple at London's Electric Brixton. In July 2015 they supported Muse at the Rock in Roma show, playing in front of 30,000 people.
Nothing but Thieves, their debut studio album, was released on 16 October 2015 in the UK through Sony Music, and on 5 February 2016 in the US through RCA Victor. It was produced by Julian Emery, with additional production by Jim Irvin, Dominic Craik and Larry Hibbitt, and mixes by Cenzo Townshend and Adam Noble. It entered the Official UK Albums Chart at No. 7, peaked at No. 3 on iTunes, and was No. 1 on the vinyl album charts. Their single "Trip Switch" climbed to No. 1 on the US Billboard Alternative format airplay chart.
Their sold-out "Ban All the Music" tour of the UK began on 19 October 2015. A second British tour in April 2016, called the "Under My Skin" tour, was announced on 9 November 2015. The band had to postpone some dates on their "Under My Skin" tour as they were asked to support Muse on their "Drones" tour. They tweeted their elation on Twitter, branding the experience "pretty awesome".
In June 2016 they announced further tour dates in November and December 2016 in Birmingham, Manchester and London climaxing at the 5,000 capacity Brixton Academy. As of May 4, 2017, the album has sold over 250,000 copies, and accumulated 174 million track streams.
A small tour of UK clubs took place in late May 2017, to support "Amsterdam", the first single from their second album Broken Machine, released on 8 September 2017. Later on 14 August, the second single, "Sorry", became their first single to chart on the UK singles chart, reaching No. 89. On 5 August 2017 they played to a crowd of over 500,000 people at Woodstock Festival Poland. On 23 August 2017 they supported Muse and Biffy Clyro at Vital Festival in Belfast ahead of their sold out "Broken Machine" tour. The band also sold out two consecutive nights at the Roundhouse in London.
Sarah Taylor said on Varsity: "In general, this album pushes more boundaries than the last one. The band carved a name for themselves with their debut, but here it feels like they're trying to define themselves to a further extent; there's more variety in the music and lyricism, and more politics, too. Joe Langridge-Brown, guitarist and lyricist alongside Mason, said that "all the songs on the album are things that we've gone through or spoken about: Trump, religion, bigotry..." and 'Live Like Animals' is an anthem for the disillusioned youth. It features lyrics such as "We put our lives all up for sale / We get our truth in the Daily Mail" and "We're gonna make 'em build a wall / We're gonna live like animals". Other tracks, such as 'Broken Machine' itself, and the deluxe version's 'Number 13' are more experimental rhythmically: they're the type of songs you have to listen to a few times before you decide whether you like them or not. I did, and I do".
