Steal Away

posted in: Artist Features

Time is a thief that will steal your tomorrows. B.B. King said that once. With Irish rockers Time Is A Thief, losing days doesn’t seem that improbable”the music can be pretty enthralling. Hailing from County Cork, the band churns out polyrhythmic, jolting pop rock. A panacea for dull, listless days, Crazy Moon is a high-speed kiss off of frothy guitars, thrashing drums, and sexy, swaggering vocals. Not having a good time isn’t an option. Water Skin begins with a serpentine guitar line, leading the listener through angular, shifting arrangements that give way to a coasting chorus. Time Is A Thief are mercurial songwriters, jumping from one part to the next with ease. And they love to kick up some distortion while they’re at it. If those sound like two things you can get with, have a listen. Just keep an eye on the time.
