Nothing But Thieves
High-octane rock driven by a generational vocal talent. Shimmering synths meet gritty riffs for a sound that is both operatic and deeply anxious.

Nothing But Thieves emerged from Southend-on-Sea as a technically proficient alternative rock outfit that quickly distinguished itself through the virtuosic vocal range of Conor Mason and the sophisticated arrangements of classically trained guitarist Dominic Craik. Their trajectory has seen them evolve from the gritty, blues-inflected indie rock of their self-titled debut to the expansive, conceptual art-pop and synth-rock of 'Dead Club City'.
Critically, they are often positioned as the bridge between the stadium-rock ambitions of Muse and the soulful, atmospheric depth of Radiohead. Their work frequently tackles themes of digital-age anxiety, political disillusionment, and mental health, making them a defining voice for the millennial and Gen Z rock audience. The band's ability to maintain a heavy, guitar-centric core while successfully integrating danceable grooves and 80s pop aesthetics has secured their place at the forefront of the modern UK rock scene, culminating in their first UK Number 1 album in 2023.
