AMONG THIEVES Albums Available For Download

May 21, 2008

For the first time ever, the two albums AMONG THIEVES released in Japan (Daymare Recordings/Warner Bros.) are available for download worldwide via the band's MySpace page.

The now-defunct, New York-based hard-rock outfit AMONG THIEVES formed in the fall of 1999. The quartet was comprised of singer Rob Brock, guitarist Scott Roberts (SPUDMONSTERS, BIOHAZARD, BLOODCLOT),bassist Alan Robert (LIFE OF AGONY, SPOILER NYC),and drummer Danny Schuler (BIOHAZARD, BLOODCLOT). Drummer Will Shepler of AGNOSTIC FRONT appeared on the group's earlier demos.

Within six months of forming, the band had written and recorded enough original compositions to issue a self-financed CD, and played regularly on the East Coast. While there were still some hardcore roots detected in AMONG THIEVES' sound, the band were primarily influenced by down-tuned rock legends such as BLACK SABBATH and SOUNDGARDEN. By late 2001, AMONG THIEVES was looking to secure a record deal and began showcasing in New York, while climbing rock radio charts nationwide. The band grabbed attention by appearing on both the Album Network and CMJ charts with their demos (as well as receiving praise in such publications such as Metal Edge, Metal Maniacs and Metal Hammer).

The band recorded several tracks with acclaimed producer Michael Barbiero (METALLICA, GUNS N' ROSES) which led to the signing to Daymare Recordings/Warner Bros. Japan, who released their debut CD "Beginning of the End" and the live record "Soundscam". These records were only available in Japan and never distributed in the United States, until now. Bassist Alan Robert says, "Over the past few years, on tour or through email, fans have continually asked where they could find these albums. They were never released in the States or in Europe, so I thought this would be a cool thing to do for those people. We've all been in a bunch of side projects - and this one in particular has seemed to stay in people's minds, which is pretty cool. We definitely put a lot into it."

Alan Robert will be touring this summer in Europe, performing in his two bands: LIFE OF AGONY and SPOILER NYC. Roadrunner Records recently released LIFE OF AGONY's "River Runs Red" Top-Shelf Edition (remastered).
