Words: Ellie Ward
They might look as if they've been put together as an X Factor band, but Nothing But Thieves have still clocked up over 12,000 views of their new video for single 'If I Get High' in just 24 hours. Impressive, and though they don't do an awful lot in it, the clip filmed at Reading Festival this summer, gives a clue to their possible appeal if you catch the looks of their doe-eyed female fans.
The track is taken from their upcoming self-titled debut album out on October 16 via RCA Victor.
It’s been a busy old year for the Southend on Sea five-piece as they've played a multitude of international festivals, including Summersonic in Japan and the main support slot at Muse’s Rock In Rome show to a sold out stadium of over 35,000 fans, as well as Reading and Leeds Festivals. They look set to continue that with a UK headline tour to coincide with the album's release.
