Live Nation presents Nothing But Thieves: The Stray Dogs World Tour
When a band decides to venture back to the studio where it all began, it can be often tempting to frame it as an act of nostalgia. There is, after all, an almost poetic symmetry in a group returning to the same barn in Banbury that they recorded their self-titled debut over a decade ago. But for Nothing But Thieves - vocalist Conor Mason, guitarists Joe Langridge-Brown and Dominic Craik, bassist Philip Blake, and drummer James Price - the reality of returning to the historic Angelic Studios to record new music was less sentimental.
As Nothing But Thieves prepare to take their new music into the arena settings that have helped shape them, there is a sense that they are operating with a renewed sense of purpose.
“We’ve always been childlike with the creation of it,” Mason concludes. “It’s just about how it makes us feel. If it’s exciting or adventurous or emotional. You can’t lose that. You can’t make songs just to sell shit. A lot of people get to that stage. We’ve always just been about how it makes us feel.”
By returning to the physical space of the residential studio barn where it all began, Nothing But Thieves have produced new music that is tangible, raw and honest. It is the sound of a band that has found a place in a very real world of their own.
