They have an uncanny knack of never clearly resolving into pure major or minor keys which builds tension in every chord. There’s no one quite like them
When I recommend music I normally mention the band and a couple of songs by them But when it comes to NBT I just go “Listen to literally any song, seriously” and indeed I always receive positive comments about them They have no bad songs and I love them a lot
Fell in love with nbt when they opened for Muse in my country, and all i could say to my mates after their set was "HAVE YOU HEARD THAT VOICE?". I saw them a bunch more times between 2016/2018 and they never disappointed
moral panic is the best album i‘ve ever listened to. i‘ve had it on repeat for almost a year and never skipped a song. it truly is a masterpiece in every way and i honestly don‘t understand why the first critic you mentioned made it seem so mediocre. i‘ve never enjoyed other music as much as nbt‘s and i‘m so grateful for them to simply exist
Didn't know they were British but not surprised whatsoever. That entire island and the one to the west make *THE* best music in the entire world and it's not even close.
Literally the best band ever for me, I've been listening to their music since 2016 and they're the artist I've listened to the most on Spotify since 2019. Waiting for them to come to Turkey..
NBT are my all-time favorite band since their first album. I got to meet Connor and had a picture taken. This was in St. Louis, and Connor looked exhausted. I wish they would come back to St. Louis when they tour the States. ❤
Got to meet them backstage when they were performing in Lithuania. I've seen bunch of bands, and their live concert is one of the best, better than Papa Roach, Three Days Grace (With Matt instead of Adam), enery wise is almost as good as The Prodigy. And backstage they were tired, but still took pictures with a fans and were chatting for about 10 minutes. Amazing people.
@@larsreintjes4173 fair point I saw the killers for cheaper and bring me the horizon too though I didn’t think nbt was that popular for such prices Definitely want to see them play at a festival though
I remember watching Muse in 2016 with Nothing but Thieves as support. When I heard they were supporting I just thought it would be some random support band and didn't really care, but when I watched them at the gig they blew me away. Been a fan since
Absolutely love NBT and I finally got to see them live @ Enmore Theatre, Sydney Australia and I was absolutely blown away and humbled not only by their amazing performance but from the crowd and fans. Concerts are usually plagued with crowds phones glued to their hands - not this crowd, everyone was enjoying and living in the moment. Even if someone did have their phone out it was only a quick photo or a little video and straight back into the amazing energy and performance which NBT rightly deserve. ❤❤❤
yeah they find a great balance, the only other band that do Orchestration better than them is Gang Of Youths in my opinion, (tend the garden if you're looking for an example)
Alternative rock is in an insanely healthy place right now, you've got nothing but thieves, royal blood, catfish and the bottlemen, sam fender all leading the way with bands like the amazons, yonaka, HIMALAYAS, blue stone all supporting from a little further back. I'm sure there are also hundreds of less good and less known bands working things out being inspired by these bands (including my band... I'm stupid excited to release my first songs). All in all it's a great time to be into music.
I'm a fan since Amsterdam and I never ever thought that I would have the chance of seeing them live - I'm from Brazil and even now living in the USA the chances of them touring near to where I live were minimal, but surprise surprise! The Gods don't fully hate me hahahha Can't wait to see them in September! SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
yeah I think I was Trip switch, but said to my GF at the weekend, I wanna burn around on a Jetski listening to Amsterdam... gives me major jet ski vibes
Having seen these tonight, live at Leeds Millennium Square, loved them for a good few years now. My adult nephew came along with me to look after me.😆🤷♀️ He’d only heard a couple of their songs, he’s into heavy rock so I was worried it wouldn’t be his thing. We had the best night and made the most amazing memories! Thank you Nothing But Theives for being there through some of the hardest years of my life. You blew us away tonight.❤xxxx
introduced to NBT in 2015 by my daughter who was press photographer for one of their early tours. Have seen them live about 12 times since (with another 2 gigs already lined up for this year). Incredible band, watching them on RU-vid doesn't come close to showing just how good they are live.
i had no clue who they were until bbc big weekend in may. heard welcome to the DCC (the first song in their set) and immediately went to spotify and followed them. that night i listened to almost every song and fell in LOVE. within two weeks i knew the words to every song and had preordered dcc. THAT is how you gain fans, by being an amazing band. i’m sure i wasn’t the only one who left big weekend with a new obsession!
People who are just discovering this band . Welcome to the best band in the world! Glad to see they are finally getting the mass appeal . Anyone I have introduced to this band falls in love with them.
I love rock music all the way from the 60s to the 2000s. How come I am learning about this band in 2024? My favourite bands haven't got as many great songs on 3 albums as these guys have on one. As a 33yo dad I thought I am bound to end up like all the dads before - listening to the songs from their teens and twenties. I did not expect to find a rock band of such immense quality in my 30s.
Still underrated, banger songs one after the other, incredible singer, they should blow up even more soon and have 10x the views/streams they have currently, they're too good!
I've been a big fan of theirs since 2015. They played at Summer Well in Romania at 4 in the afternoon with the not so well-known bands and I just fell in love with Conor's voice and everyone's energy and passion. They came back last year and headlined the festival. It was pouring rain and everyone was singing word for word alongside Connor/ Poor lad was so stunned he kept saying in between songs how amazed he is we know their songs. At some point he started crying and had to pause for a second. They invited the Bucharest Simphonic Orchestra to play live with them and it was pure magic. The entire show was just magical. They were for me way way better than Arctic Monkeys. I'm grateful I've found them randomly on MTV 8 years ago and had their excellent music.
favourite band to see live. saw them for the second time last night and the energy was just something so amazing. today they were announced as head liners for one of finlands biggest festivals next year, cant wait :) been a fan since 2015 and every single album is just banger after banger after banger. great video on them!
Thanks so much for the quick history of the band. I discovered them for myself two months ago and am super deep into their musical world. It doesn't happen often that I listen to an album (hell, or even all of them) over and over again. But nothing but thieves are just hitting the right spots in my brain and releasing dopamine :D
I just found out about this band in the last week thanks to Rick Beato doing a quick review of Welcome to the DCC... and I'm fucking hooked. Here in The States rock music has been on a bit of down trend over the last decade, so it's great to see y'all are keeping it alive across the pond. Amazing band
i love them to bits. i love what they do and what they stand for. their music is like a soundtrack to my life. i’m so happy to be alive in the same time as them 🤍
that thumbnail is very ironic considerin gi came to know Nothing But Thieves through Muse. They were their support act for the Drones festival tour and they had just started out. I was really intrigued but it wasn't until i saw them just a few weeks ago this time supporting Green Day, where i could finally hear many of the new songs from Dead Club City that i've finally fallen in love with them. Discovered Royal Blood the same way, though i did keep up with them since the first time i heard them. Both bands have been fantastic so far and i can't wait to see what else they have in store. Dead Club City is probably my favourite album this year.
Got to meet them in Perth a few weeks ago after the gig, they were obviously all jet lagged from the flight earlier that day but still took time to have a proper chat with every fan that stayed back to meet them. Top lads, best band in the world
I’m not sure saying they dethroned muse would be accurate they haven’t had a single hit even remotely close to the level of success muse had at their peak, I like NBT but Royal Blood got significantly closer to taking that crown with how big Figure It Out and Out Of The Black were
I had the chance to see them live last summer and it was the best experience of my life. I cried for half of the concert due to the emotion and passion they put into the performances and I wasn't the only one who did so ahah it was amazing
I've been listening since a Spotify ad showed me Is Everybody Going Crazy and Dead Club City was absolutely incredible, I love synth pop (CHVRCHES kick ass always and forever) so the influences in DCC were amazing to hear.
1st song I ever heard was Tripswitch and was hooked straight away, saw them live on 15/12/2017 @ The Factory Theatre (Australia) what a great live concert, they were supported by @CREO. Bumped into a couple of poms there too, very proud, actually my cousin lives in Essex! Honey Whiskey gets me every f-ing time, but Overcome, damn what an emotional song.
I maintain that a band is good when the art they produce is greater than they are - they truly transcend which is really the function of music. This band does the hard work: they still carry their own equipment to set up a studio; on an emotional level they can make plans when they burn out on tour instead of going further along the downward spiral; their live performances reflect their intelligence; they are really present whether they are on stage or producing new work and they are able to make a connection through the music and in person. That is why I also love Foo Fighters. Young bands like these guys graduate early from their drug induced stage stupor or skip it completely and are focused on their brand as well as their art. I would like to see NBT reach out to young artists more. Reach one - teach one.
No existe una mala canción de NBT. Simplemente todo lo que componen, producen y escriben es magnífico. Probablemente una de las mejores bandas de los últimos 20 años, espero que vuelvan pronto a nuestro país con la gira DCC 💥🇦🇷
@@PelozoFtodo depende de tu género preferido, lover please stay es definitivamente una balada que no a todos les puede gustar. Hay que admitir que los vocales de mason es una exquisitez como siempre.
I just stumbled across that tiny bit epic solo on pop the balloon, the reprise buildup to it gives me good old pink Floyd tingles but man.. what a breath of fresh air in general.. just top class
Saw them at a festival in the superior northern location of Newcastle back in 2019. They played a great set and we were lucky enough to meet three of the band. A nice bunch of lads!
Absolutely love you guys , listen to Ur music daily and got to see last week in Glasgow ,now got tickets to see yous back here next June with green day. Keep making the friggin amazing tunes ❤
Been listening to them on and off since 2016 after I discovered Trip Switch on the FIFA 15 Soundtrack. Got tickets to see them in the fall. Should be a lot of fun.
Saw them for the 2nd time in Melb a few weeks ago - a friend of mine recorded their live at maitland for triple j, and he said they were by far the best performance there as they could actually play! I love them so much.
I saw NBT support Muse on the Drones tour and oh my gosh, back to back awesomeness, genuinely reckon NBT are growing to be close to being as big as Muse
I do not personally know and have not met anyone else who listens to this band and it makes me furious. Maybe that’s just how it is over here in the states for now. But, Im going to see them in DC in august and I can’t wait to meet a bunch of people who are probably experiencing that same disconnect and are just as excited about this band
I remember first getting into them and listening to broken machine. I was listening to all the songs and then I watched a video of particles live and I was just like wow, I can’t believe I haven’t heard this earlier and why the fuck are they not popular in the US
Yeah Norwich was amazing, especially Lover Please Stay - how he nailed it after saying he hadn’t sung it for 8 years, and then he was so pleased with himself afterwards bless him. He’s so cute 😄
@@FastRuffneck I’m seeing them on the 10th! Would have gone both nights but the 11th clashed with something else. I’m going to Bournemouth on the 3rd, and both nights in Amsterdam next February. Oh and also saw the acoustic set in Kingston as well as the Norwich one. I think I have a bit of an addiction 😄
Would love to see you come over to the Great Escape festival in Brighton. Showcases the new bands on the block from across the world and is a great experience
I have been a fan of Nothing But Thieves since i first heard their song Amsterdam on the radio. i have a very varied music taste, i mainly listen to extreme metal, but Nothing But Thieves standout in the music that i listen to.
Thanks Declan, I really appreciate it, I put loads of time and effort into refining the process of making these videos, and I think this is the culmination of it thus far.
