Details
With powerful song-writing, big guitars, achingly detailed production and hauntingly melodic vocals, THE STEALS are passionately driven to create mysterious, soul-cleansing, heart-breaking, life-affirming music. Following their 2006 critically acclaimed EP 'Floodlights' and an intense creative sabbatical, 'THE STEALS' latest Album 'Static Kingdom' on Faun Records, sees Singer and long- standing member Jayn Hanna return with a new line up, rekindling a musical union with Guitarist and co-producer Mark Peters of 'Engineers' notoriety ( Echo/ K Scope Label), Drummer Chris Smith and Guitarist Daniel Land from Manchester Shoegazer's Daniel Land and The Modern Painters. The Album was largely completed between the Landscapes of Hebden Bridge near the Moors of West Yorkshire and a San Francisco Beach side Studio.
