Music Is My Weapon

Let's talk about the up-and-coming Pop Punk, Post Hardcore band, I Heart Thieves. I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong. You're thinking, how can another guitar-bass-drum group make an impression. Simple: versitility. See, they're not a one-note group. At the beginning of the show they're echoing Atreyu and Dead Poetic. By the end, you're ears will be throbbing to notes that only Blink or Taking Back Sunday could compete with.

So, what do they do that will make you want to listen to their band and not others. As opposed to others who try to stay away from genre-steriotypes of teenage angst, they embrace it and make it happen. They give those teens a podium to hold on to; life is a problem and they sing about it.

In the summer of 2005, Alex (Guitar/Vocals) and Sean (Vocals, seen above) created an acoustic project known as I Heart Thieves. This evolved into the band you can hear on their website. First things first though: they created a fan base. Signing up to Myspace is the modern day trial. If you don't make it there, you simply don't make it. After a few days, they located Darrell (Drums). Shorlty after, they stumbled across Brendan (Guitar). Then the fun started. Listen to their music on Myspace, before the next big label comes by and takes their music off for interfering with their record sales.

If you want to hear them, they're all over Virginia. Check out their site for upcoming events. http://www.myspace.com/iheartthievesrock
