Former Thieves

Former Thieves have been a band characterized by their hard work and grueling tour regimens in their seemingly short life span. But this changed with their signing to No Sleep Records. Coming from the barren and simple fields of Iowa, Former Thieves have created a record that personifies the feelings and emotions of coming from nothing and fighting the entire way to what they have created. Their first release was 'The Great and the Alleged Great'.

Their first release was 'The Great and the Alleged Great'. Originally a free demo, they released this officially with the help of Mayfly Records. The release that followed was called 'The Language That We Speak', which takes the listener through a thorough commentary on the frustration of Midwestern life. Articulate, sharp, and sincerely pissed. Recorded December 1st through 10th 2010 at The Red Room in Seattle, WA with Chris Common (Mastodon, The Sword) at the helm, No Sleep Records released 'The Language That We Speak' on Tuesday April 19th 2011 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.
