Since making their live debut at Camden Rocks Festival in
May 2015, the buzz has been spreading about City Of Thieves – no
frills, no messin' around, no gimmicks – it is heavy rock in it’s
purest form and will send you straight to the front of the stage with no
nonsense sledgehammer riffs, hooks and melodies.
Working with acclaimed artist and producer Toby Jepson
(Wayward Sons, Little Angels, The Answer), City Of Thieves frontman/bassist
Jamie Lailey knew at an early stage the band wanted to take rock by the scruff
of its neck and give it a good shake. "We knew what we wanted to do, we'd
been devouring the songwriting and if we were inclined, we could have released
a ton of material out of the gate. Toby took what we had and refined it. I'm
glad we sat back and digested things with him, it was a major turning point for
the band."
With Jepson at the helm, Mike Fraser on mixing duties and
mastering by Simon Francis (Kodaline, Kaiser Chiefs, Primal Scream) the vision
of this new material was in the best of hands. When asked what he thought about
City Of Thieves, Mike Fraser simply replied "Killer band...Killer
songs". This is not a throwaway comment, this is from a true craftsman
whose worked on albums for Metallica, AC/DC, Slipknot, Aerosmith and more.
So what about the songs? "The new material has bags
of groove, different speeds and attitude. We mix it up but keep it genuine and
made sure everything flows. Why play something that's monotonous, I'm not
saying we're reinventing the wheel but if you think your own music is boring,
why inflict that on your audience?" says Will Richards (drums). "We
can't wait to unleash the other tunes and get on the road to play live"
chips in Lailey.
With Planet Rock Radio play listing 'Incinerator' and
festival & shows to be announced - City Of Thieves released their debut EP
in September 2015 and the 1st album scheduled to be unleashed in October 2018
on Frontiers Music Srl.
These guys aren't just here to steal your soul for the
love of rock n' roll...they're here to DEVOUR it. Tune in, turn it up...we'll
see you down the front.
