London based hard rock trio City Of Thieves released their debut album, ‘Beast Reality’, in mid-October and will tour to promote it in early 2019 with Frontiers labelmates Inglorious
A new single from the album entitled ‘Control’ will be made available in mid-January.
The buzz began spreading about City Of Thieves as soon as they made their debut in 2015, via early Planet Rock Radio support and slots at festivals such as Ramblin’ Man Fair, Bloodstock and Planet Rockstock. Having signed to Frontiers, where they joined the label’s expanding roster of exciting and classic sounding hard rock bands, the recording of ‘Beast Reality’ saw them work with producer Toby Jepson (Wayward Sons, Little Angels, The Answer) and mixer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica, Aerosmith) on a debut that has been compared favourably to the likes of Airborne and early AC/DC. Singles released to date include ‘Buzzed Up City’, ‘Born To Be Great’ and ‘Reality Bites’.
City Of Thieves will play a pre-Xmas London show at The Big Red on 15th December.
