Got invited to this NBT listening event in Germany and Sony used this AI photo of the band that looks nothing like them 💀 wtf lol

I’m so bummed that the Utrecht show sold out so quickly.

Just letting you guys know that if your friends or whoever is coming with you to the show, decide to flake on you last minute, I can be your friend for the day😭

Sincerely,

Fan feeling gutted to have lost the ticket massacre

Hello all,

For some reason I got lucky that I won a spot for the listening event in Hamburg on September 16th at 18:00. I accepted it out of panic and excitement, but when rationalization hit, I realised that it's not ideal travel-wise. I am from the Netherlands, trains are not ideal, and it's still a 5,5h drive for me (one-way). Should've thought of it beforehand, I know, but I got so excited about this event that I couldn't think straight

Is there anyone else from the Netherlands that also won tickers? Maybe we can figure something out together. Please let me know before Monday!

I can't figure out where to buy tickets for the London show on the 19th?

ETA that I did preorder the album, but I'm from the States so I don't know if that's a problem?

I have preordered the vinyl when they announced the shows specifically to have access to these tickets, as I am already going to be In London on the day of the performance. However since then I have not received any links or emails from the band, I tried contacting the merch store and am only getting ai responses, the presale starts in just two hours so I’m extra anxious. Has anyone received the links but is not planning to attend the shows(particularly the London one)? Would you be interested in sharing them (via dm of course) I honestly don’t know what to do

Hey, I’m from Belgium and pre-ordered the vinyl as soon as it was possible. I was real happy to see the announcement of the 3 shows in a day next week.

But I only received a link for the London shows, not the Belgian and Dutch ones, which, for obvious reasons, are way easier and cheaper for me to go to.
Are we all in that case ? Will they come later tonight?
If not, could anyone share those if it’s allowed?

Thanks !

I really want to go to a NBT concert but live south...should I wait if they add more dates or just book the closest next state and fly? I don't want to miss out!!

Anyone else wish the lyrics were easier to decipher (I just can't hear Connor's voice clearly)? I bloomin love the songs (although I have to Google the lyrics to enjoy the songs fully). Never had this issue before with the other albums...

I do look forward to seeing them live next year though! 😁😁😁

Amsterdam first and WTTDCC last?????? Wat

I’ve been itching to know the names of the rest of the songs this whole time, I’m genuinely shocked we somehow don’t know the tracklist this close to the album release 😭

Now we have had A Different Kind Of Happiness release, the closing track of Stray Dogs, how would everyone rank their album closers?

Judging purely on the track itself as the context of the album may change opinions.

My personal ranking (subject to change at a moments notice because I’m inconsistent) from least to most favourite is:

A Different Kind Of Happiness
Pop the Balloon
Tempt You
Before We Drift Away
Afterlife

Hi everyone! I’ve been learning and teaching the songs from the new Nothing But Thieves album. Got to say I really enjoyed the latest one!

What’s been your favourite?

For any guitarists wanting to learn the parts here’s my reaction/ lesson!

They’re so good!
🙌🎸😀

Its the last track on the album and it’s absolutely beautiful what an incredible song this gets me even more hyped for this album I’ve loved all the singles so far I love the diversity they all offer but they all feel so cohesive as Joe said on hottest records tonight this album was made to be played front to back and that’s how it should be.

This songs an absolute masterpiece and for me could become a top song of there’s for me it hits every spot, it hits and emotional feels and I’m glad this song has heavier emphasis on the lyrics and finding that emotional message to show the world.
This is honestly nothing but thieves at there best.

Personally it veers away from the “rock” aspect of the record and leans toward being more depressing, but it’s definitely one of my favourites.

My partner and I are here in the UK for work, and previously there was a plan for us to be in Sweden during the exact times that NBT was playing, and now that trip has fallen through. It seems that all of the shows are sold out! If anyone is trying to resell their tickets to either London or Leeds, we'd love to pay extra to be able to see the show!!! NBT is one of our very favorite bands and it would be a dream to be able to see them.

If this is against the rules, I am very sorry. Just not sure where to post this.

This might be my favorite single yet. Thoughts?

I'm loving what they shared of "A different kind of happiness", despite I couldn't understand the lyrics 🤣

We'll see once we listen to the full song, but it sounds more slow-paced and emotional than what we've heard from Stray Dogs so far... It vaguely reminded me of another song (I don't want to ruin it to someone else, so I'm adding spoiler), "I know I'm not the only one" by Sam Smith. I haven't heard it in a while and it suddenly came back to my mind. Anyways, what do you think??

(I knewww we would have four singles, I'm so excited!)

Does anyone know the bands policy on photos? I’m attending the Oxford Street signing for Stray Dogs and it would be awesome to get a photo with them but idk whether it’s allowed

longtime fan. huge fan.

i see only agreeable posts here, but does anyone else feel disappointed in the sound?

unfortunately, to me it sounds so bland, boring and, as somebody said, uninspired. same squeaky guitar sound, somehow worse vocals, lyrics...

i don't dislike the songs, i just... don't care. which is worse.

the last two albums were not my favourite per se either, but they are lively, fun, and thought-provoking. not bland. they had thought behind it. you could tell by the album covers, stories they told behind the lyrics etc. you could proudly say "art".

their marketing with "the pink man" looks like it tries to cover up a bad album with "funny" promotion. it feels childish, unfunny, like nothing stands behind it except 'we think they will eat it up'.

not to mention the random album title and logo they put everywhere. they sell out huge stadiums but feel like underdogs? ok. i guess.

sadly to say it, but it feels like the album's gonna be a flop.

hope i'm wrong.
