Thieves - Chicago, IL. - Hardcore/Punk

Sinister. Destructive. Pure Evil. This is Thieves.

This Chicago based band will kick your ass. Their live set carries the fury of a tornado mixed with the ferocity of a lion who's hungry for blood.

The scariest part is that the band is only a weekend hobby, with all members working full-time day jobs.

Thieves are one of the most underrated bands out there now. Check it out! Be sure to look at their sweet website, too.

If you haven't given Former Thieves your attention, you've been missing out. Characterized as something like the angry stepchild of Botch, Converge, and Modern Life is War, these Iowans will provide your ears with the in-your-face riffs and pissed vocals you've been craving.

The band recently signed to No Sleep Records to release their full length The Language That We Speak, which can be downloaded for free here. They are currently on tour with Every Time I Die, Terror, and Stray From The Path. Check out the dates below.

Need to blow off some steam? Listen to Former Thieves.
