Who The F*** are Nothing But Thieves? - Hudba
I still can’t wrap my head around how every single song they put out is a certified banger
Its impressive. They are no bad songs.
Je agree
they’re disgustingly good and i adore everthing ab this band
100% agree, I had such a great time seeing them live last week ❤
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
what an inside
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
yeah I think they're great!
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
smort
Love NBT, been following them since 2015 and they just seem to get better and better - they’re excellent live
A band I feel is truly underrated at least in the States
Yeah I think that makes them even better though :)
Dude, seriously. Like none of my friends here know them, but I know they're huge in the UK
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.
So expensive tho 😢😅
@@JoshyYoshiAMV Really
@@AufdemLaufenden777 I think it was around £40 for the London show at least
@@JoshyYoshiAMV i dont think it is that expensive if you see how expensive coldplay and ed sheeran are
@@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
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
Worth mentioning that I was so obsessed with them that I got a tattoo of a Graveyard Whistling lyrics lol
lol
love this
I’ve never had such a close connection with a band/artist than I have NBT, they’re amazing and everyone should see them live
seen them twice this year, both times great
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..
wish they come to Turkey! I'd kill to go to that show
They are absolutely incredible live! I hope your dream will come true ❤
Aghh it would be a dreammm! At least they are coming to greece this april, this is closest to they have ever been 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. ❤
You gotta go to the kc mo show!!!!
if they come back to St Luis, I'm fucking going!!!! i live nearby and I recently discovered them and I'm sad I hadn't heard of them sooner
Saw them in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, wow, amazing. The perfect modern rock band.
Oh nice, was that in the Vally? I've still yet to see a gig there that's blown me away, havent fount the sweet spot yet.
@@JackWebbMusicClub it was the FV Music Hall - incredible show!
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
yeah amazing
seen them live - it was easily the best concert I've ever been to. the live vocals were absolutely insane
niiiiiiice
I'm so happy to see that they are finally getting recognition 🎉
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.
Seeing yonaka being mentioned with NBT warms my heart. Both have such a special place within me
Hate to be the guy but I'm pretty sure Catfish have broken up
@@iliketrains3495 just looked it up, damn shame.
I think it's still a little delicate, but I think Sam is doing worlds of good
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
@JackWebbMusicClub Exactly! That would be awesome!
And update: now that I saw them I just became even more of a fan! It was amazing
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. ❤❤❤
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
When they work with orchestration i just love it................best band in years!
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)
You're right about Real Love Song being a great midset song. That's exactly how it played in Melbourne 2 weeks ago.
For me, this band has an emotional bond. Every time I feel bad, I listen to the songs. I don't feel better, but I understand.
so good to have music that can do that for you
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.
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!
wow, a latecomer, but what a catalogue to just dive into
I have been listening to this band for about 7 years now, it was love at first listen. Can't wait to hear the new album
thoughts?
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 CZcams doesn't come close to showing just how good they are live.
what a story
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.
They've just gone from strength to strength in my opinion.
and yet, theyre still criminally underrated. ive met one person who knows who they are and it makes me sad. lol.
criminally
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.
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
Holy crap!!! To say they are the face of British Rock is incredible! I love Nothing But Thieves!
NBT have been one of my fave bands since 2017, I feel like a proud dad seeing them get as far as they have, I love them
yeah love their trajectory
This video is an amazing insight to my favourite band. Thank You!
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.
Arctic Monkeys is an amazing band but they are far better at recording albums than being on stage imo
@@xenogear88 I still enjoyed the concert but I totally agree with you
They never disappoint with their releases
I honestly love them so so musch, they're a huge inspiration for me as a musician!
Watching this honestly took me back, I still remember the day when broken machine first released ughhhhh I love nbt
aren't they just so great
Fantastic video brother. Really gave a easy to digest idea of their growth as a band across the album timeline
Cheers mate
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, they really are great, and are continuing to grow, which is great to see.
Great video! Good to see the boys getting some recognition
Hey Jack, I love how sold you content is and I hope to see more!
This is a super well done video! Love this band! Def gonna sub and keep watching these!
my first concert experience was NBT’s DCC tour and what an incredible first experience!!! absolutely solidified my love for this amazing band ❤
They don´t know how to make a bad song, so enjoyable, and also live
mate, the live vocal range is nuts
Great intro to the band. I just found them and this caught me up well. Thanks
3rd band I’ve discovered and you’ve done a video on sub time!
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.
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 ❤
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
oh wow what a journey you're about to embark on
That intro is so perfectly timed. Bravo.
thanks so much, took me aaagggeesss
Bought a ticket for their Glasgow O2 Academy gig in October...can't wait. I've loved their music for a few years now.
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 🤍
love this
I discovered their music from a cover and I just fell in love with them!
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
yeah so good, so emotional, so talented
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
love this
Huge fan here!!✋
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.
I was there in the Helsinki show and it was amazing! I have listened to them since Broken Machine nonstop and they are my favorite band 😍
so good
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.
yeah I saw them in the Sunny coast, and their sound massively outshone everyone else
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.
love this!
I saw them back in 2019 and loved their energy. grandson was opening for them. theyre fucking rad too
They've come on so far since then as well
Amazing band 😊
this band really in the future gonna be hugeeee.. the power of vocal of conor love em all
so good
Gonna see them in June in Germany. I'm so excited 😍
Me too, Stuttgart "Hell, Yeah"
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!
oh great! they seem super nice
I'm so excited. I'm gonna be seeing them in November and I'm so happy
not long now!
I fuckin ❤ them. I just saw them in Brooklyn NY and they blew the roof off of the venue!🔥🎸
Well... that's a cool statement!
@@JackWebbMusicClub Oopsy! They "blew" the roof off. 😅
My most listened band on spotify for past 3-4 years, with BMTH and A7X coming right behind them.
interestitiign
Really good quality content!
Thanks so much mate, lots of work goes into it, glad it pays off
Absolutely love NBT been a fan since 2015 they’re class live and will remain a favourite foreverrrr❤️❤️❤️
so good
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
Great interaction with this one considering it was only posted 4 days ago 👍
Thanks bro, it's just popped, and the thumbnail has pissed some people off. There's nothing better than pissing off a Muse Fan!
welcome to the dcc just gives me goosebumps every time and i have it with a lot of songs of them
and it's a banging set opener
NBT is my favorite band! I heard them on the radio as a kid and have been hooked since. All their songs are bangers
and they just keep getting better and better
How can you do a history of NBT without mentioning Impossible?? It’s the highlight of their live set !
You know, I hit publish, and realised that I'd missed it out, and you're the first person to notice! you win a bonus point!
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.
My favorite band ever
strong statement
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.
I also just think they're going from strength to strength, which isn't easy after 3 albums.
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
gonna see them in August, can't wait
...and... how were they
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
One day Chris, I'd love that!
Love these guys
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 💥🇦🇷
Falso. Lover Please Stay es pésima. Es la canción más aburrida de la historia
@@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.
Estoy seguro de que con una base de fans tan leal como la tuya lo harán.
Not seen many comments saying this but this video is really well made
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.
I love these guys so much bloody amazing
so epic
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 would highlight recommend joining the NBT discord, there must be people in your city ;)
If not, you’re welcome here anytime
Massive fan. Their live acoustic / Q&A Session in Norwich was epic! Connor's live vocal was insane. Week and a half until Reading !!!
Did you see them?
@@JackWebbMusicClub Saw them in Norwich (acoustic), at Reading Festival (Full band) and going to see their headline set at Wembley Arena in November 😁
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 😄
@@4363laura seeing them again in London on 11th … can’t wait!!! 😁
@@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 😄
The coolest band in rock
just banger after banger
Southend ROCKS
Great video
Thank so much, a lot of time and effort went into it.
i can’t wait to see them in november !
so good
Great video, thumbnail is giving me nightmares though
Thanks for the love
Thanks James, It was an early attempt with AI Generative art, that kinda worked. I think it still looks like Connor, even if a little off
Yeah brilliant. Awesome new album 😊
So good!
I'l check them out.
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.
I think they appeal to that side quite a bit as well
Argh. Should've wait for Overcome to come out only a day or two after you released this video. Would've been cooler!
Great band and great video.
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, I feel like they've got it to break the US, I just feel like guitar music isn't having a moment in the US like it is elsewhere rn
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
