Morning Theft On Subinev
(Drawing by Bryan Bruchman)
Subinev continues its series of band photo robot drawings, this time featuring Morning Theft and a nice explanation of the band’s appeal:
Morning Theft’s sound is far from the hipster gloss and shine of most of the bands running around the Lower East Side these days, and that just might be exactly the thing that’s kept them going so strong for so long. They also happen to be a band split between two hometowns -not just NYC but also Boston, where they seem to be received even better than in the city they officially call home. While most 20-somethings in this town look to the early 80’s for their musical inspiration, Morning Theft are a bit more current, drawing on more of the 90’s, crafting a sound that evokes Nirvana, the Pixies, Sunny Day Real Estate, U2, and Failure. Not exactly retro - just coming from a different place than most of what I hear these days, and that’s very refreshing.
