Harvest Thieves

Harvest Thieves dig deep within their own personal stories and offer up enigmatic songs of candidness and well-worn intensity. In lieu of visceral play-by-plays and detail-oriented specifics, they gather vulnerable messages and wrap them warmly in coded and beautifully shielded lyrics, focusing more on emotions than senses. Full-length debut, Rival, gathers the most vulnerable details of their crossroads and recounts their experiences in a manner that provides an openness and honesty that most artists never approach. 
 Making an indelible mark on their hometown, Austin American-Statesman proclaimed, “Alternative-Country has largely blended into the broader Americana landscape in recent years, but here’s a band that harkens back to the dead-center focus of the genre.” Not to be outdone, Austin Chronicle adds, “Harvest Thieves come from the Jackson Browne school of alt-country, where durable melodies and chunky guitars abound...demonstrating roots and smarts.” 
 Ranging from lyrically bitter and laced with tongue-in-cheek middle fingers to Blue Rodeo-rooted, harmonically-blended vocals, Harvest Thieves flawlessly weave through their emotions with a raw and vulnerable tone that can only be possessed by surviving the heartaches and shortcomings of life’s pitfalls. This is a band with a marked purpose and intent, with just the right amount of down-home grit to make you believe them.
