Nothing But Thieves are an English alternative rock band formed in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, in 2012. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Conor Mason, guitarists Joe Langridge-Brown and Dominic Craik, bassist Philip Blake, and drummer James Price.
The past few years have been quite a ride for Southend five-piece Nothing But Thieves. Amassing over 1.6 million worldwide album sales, 2.1 billion worldwide streams and 310 million video views, they have built up a loyal and wide following for their impactful alt rock sound and achieved global success with multiple gold and platinum records around the world, including the UK, Australia, Russia, Netherlands, South Korea and Poland.
Nothing But Thieves made their exciting return in 2023, with their best performing single ever ‘Welcome To DCC’, followed by the release of their first UK and Netherlands #1 Album ‘Dead Club City’. With socially insightful lyrics and an adept ability to progress their sound and experiment between the diverse genres that shape them as a band, Nothing But Thieves made a statement return, marking an innovative new chapter with their fourth record ‘Dead Club City’.
For this album, the band created a richly detail concept, centralised around a city sized members club. Across this 11 track release, the band explored themes around advertisement, unity, internet culture, politics and escapism which are all highlighted through the alienation or privilege of a members only club.
