Company Of Thieves
Apr 18, 2011
The Chicago-based band Company of Thieves has announced the release of their new album, Running From A Gamble, due out via Wind-up Records on May 17th. To celebrate, the band is offering up a free MP3 from the album, in the form of the amazing track "Modern Waste."
Running From A Gamble is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, Ordinary Riches. Produced by Rob Schnapf, the 13-track album was written primarily by lead singer Genevieve Schatz and guitar player Marc Walloch.
Of the album, Genevieve says, "The album is a coming of age adventure about the mysterious, passionate and painful transition from dependence and enchantment to autonomy and awareness."
The first single off Running From A Gamble will be "Death of Communication," which impacts Alternative on April 19th.
Ordinary Riches was released in 2009 and landed at #5 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. The band landed a spot on Last Call with Carson Daly where they performed their hit single "Oscar Wilde."
The band has built a massive fanbase from non-stop touring, performing headlining dates and also opening for bands such as OK Go and The Hold Steady, followed by duets with Daryl Hall on his hit show, "Live From Daryl's House."
Reviews of the album and live performances were nothing but positive and the band is in the midst of a national tour with The Whigs.
