Attention Thieves: Ryan, Hag, Alex, Sim
| artist: Attention Thieves genre: Brit Alt-Rock | listen now Broken Promise From My Reach | buy now |
For me, when I think of quintessential Brit Alt-Rock over the last few years bands like Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy, and Hard-Fi come immediately to my mind as some of my favourites. I have a new band to add to that list. Attention Thieves, from Reading, England, launch their brand new single “Broken Promise” today. And this track delivers everything I love about British alternative rock. It’s post punk, post hardcore, with melodies your gonna find yourself singing along to at the top of your lungs in the privacy of your own car.
Also check out their 2009 four track EP Fear To Lose. The third track off the EP, “From My Reach”, should give you reason enough to get the rest of the album for yourself.

I can see that you arvpope of Loudon’s mission, the assembly of myriad files detailing nebulous connections between various suspected ‘commies,’ often in the distant past. I firmly agree with Poneke in finding it hilarious and bizarrely fascinating that Loudon believes Hitler and Mussolini are leftists. What is even greater comedy is Loudon’s po-faced reply on Poneke’s comments thread, where he holds that ‘EVERY political moderate, social democrat, conservative or libertarian is to the right of Hitler and Mussolini because they were in reality leftists’ and as such, Poneke cruelly misrepresents his argument in his (excellent) thread title:”ACT Party vice-president declares himself to be a near-anarchist on the political right of “left-wing” Hitler and Mussolini”I actually find Loudon’s attitude creepy. I’m sure if he delved into my past, he’d be easily able to dredge up some associations that could be patched together to make me look like a dyed-in-the-wool Maoist commie. I’ll save him the trouble:- Active in student politics at Vic Uni while there, attending several marches and fraternising with their organisers- Both parents involved in 1981 anti-tour marches- Posted for a long period on activist website FightDemBack- Worked under known dirty commie red Alick Shaw in the kitchen of the Grain of Salt in my student days- Has several Chinese friends who have as yet to smuggle him back to mainland China for the final indoctrination procedures – can only be a matter of timeThis should be enough thoughtcrime to pin me to the wall in Loudon’s book. The guy comes across as totally Orwellian in his desire to lather on the tar… NZ China Friendship Society = ‘communist front’? What a joke…PC, you might hold Loudon up as ahero and a martyr for what he’s doing, I’ll hold him up for ridicule. Still, while he’s on his hands and knees looking for Reds under the bed, at least he’s not up to any more serious mischief… DenMT
I lteirally jumped out of my chair and danced after reading this!
