 
Attention Thieves are a new band on the music
scene but when it comes to music they are no newbie’s
as the members of the band have played in various
different bands over the years including renowned
tech-metal band The Arusha accord, ever since
Attention Thieves formed they have been busy making
a name for themselves on the live circuit but
also managed to find some time out to write and
record their debut EP ‘Look A Little Closer’.
As soon as the opening track ‘You’ll
Be The First One’ starts you instantly know
that the EP is going to be a pleasure to listen
to and also that attention Thieves are a super
talented band who need to be watched over the
next couple of years as they have a solid sound
where they play loud fast and clear.
‘Bring Yourself to Justice’ is a big
sounding straight up rock and roll track where
the guitar riffs are beefy, the vocals are clear
and beautiful sounding, whilst the raw shouty
backing vocals adds extra chunkiness to the song.
‘Can’t Say’ is another beast
of a song with crunching riffs, big chant-a-long
vocals and generally a massive sounding 3minute
jamming session where Attention Thieves proper
rock out whilst creating the stand out track of
the EP.
‘We Won’t Live Forever’ closes
the EP and it showcases Attention Thieves as a
band who like to experiment with their sound as
the song opens with a massive flurry of big sounding
instrumental work before dipping back down to
let the softly sounding vocals come in before
building up again with a loud moment of instrumental
noise before dipping back down again and so on.
Listening to ‘Look A Little Closer’
makes me want to head out and check out attention
Thieves on the live circuit as they have such
a big sound that I feel will get the crowd going
on a mad stampede at their live shows and you
always know that a band is onto a winner when
they can capture the energy of their live show
on record and I feel that is just what Attention
Thieves have done with ‘Look A Little Closer’,
a predict a bright future for these guys.
4/5
