THEY WERE THIEVES is a breath of fresh air on a morning when the grass is still damp. Their songs manage to make you feel comfortable while taking you through beautiful times of pain and sometimes pleasure. With heart-aching melodies, nice grooves, ambient excursions, and occasional rock-and-roll songs, these songs bring you back to the good times before we had the ability to broadcast via blogs and had to type our thoughts on a typewriter, or maybe even scribble them down on paper. These dudes seemingly live and breathe the midwest mindset. Recommended before or after listening for your next fishing excursion at the lake.
