Band of Thieves’ Mix Tape for people who like Classic Rock but don’t know it
Band of Thieves bills their product as sunny music for shady people, and declares their purpose as pure, straight ahead blues-influenced rock ‘n’ roll – causes that we can both get behind and down to, respectfully and respectively.They’ll be stealing into Philadelphia next week to play at the Grape Street Pub (Thursday, 7/19) fresh off setting a date to rock the choppy waters of a blooze booze cruise with none other than Skynyrd de la Lynyrd. All the basic accoutrements of rock and roll are here, complete with studied-cool scattershot band photos and references to the hot little girl’s daddy who doesn’t think a band boy is worth a damn. Classic rock for people who don’t know they like classic rock is what the kids are into these days, most of them just don’t know to call it that yet (shout out to Wolfmother!). With this in mind, sharpen your utensils and dig in on the mix tape below, a feast of favorites for the most jaded of radio dial swivelists.
