Attention Thieves - You'll Be The First One

Youthful, cleanly defined rock from Reading chaps Attention Thieves - new single You’ll Be The First One finds itself as a neat bed-fellow to the likes of Young Guns. Empowered in the choruses, and with strong hooks to boot, Attention Thieves thrive with the energy and passion to mark themselves out in a tight market. With support from Kerrang and Radio 1’s Rock Show, it’s tempting to think these guys could follow in the footsteps of You Me At Six and set themselves up in the UK’s premier league of rock groups – and You’ll Be The First One certainly possesses a measure of that same glimmer of keen, accomplished vitality YMAS displayed when they first cut their way into the UK albums charts in 2008. With Enter Shikari producer John Mitchell on board too, the band are lent a clinical edge that wastes no time in establishing exactly what they’re about – You’ll Be The First One works so well precisely because of that quick-fire energy coursing through it. Driven and focussed in both sound and action, Attention Thieves are also set to head back on the road through April and May.
