NOTHING BUT THIEVES
RELEASE DEAD CLUB CITY DELUXE
SHARE FOCUS TRACK TIME :: FATE :: KARMA :: GOD
TOURING AUSTRALIA NATIONALLY IN APRIL AND MAY
“From the bold Welcome to the DCC start, the Pop The Balloon full stop at the end of the original release felt like more of a comma with more story to tell. They complete it here…The five tracks are welcome additions to Dead Club City and offer clarity to the album’s overall concept.” – Silver Tiger Media
“…the additions of the three previously unreleased tracks and the two stripped-down songs add great exclusivity to the album…through their alternative sound, crafted to be the band’s bread and butter, Dead Club City Deluxe is a fantastic mix of alternative rock music that can only propel the band to greater heights.” – All Music Magazine
“Dead Club City Deluxe is a collector’s item and the original record itself is a very worthwhile experience…these ‘Thieves have unquestionably stolen hearts and immeasurable love ‘Particles’ throughout the world and we potentially have a significant part of the soundtrack selected for the doomsday party.” – Wall Of Sound
Nothing But Thieves have shared the second chapter in their Dead Club City story today with Dead Club City Deluxe out now via RCA/Sony.
Alongside Dead Club City Deluxe comes a new focus track Time :: Fate :: Karma :: God, which is an experimental and electric track with 80s-inspired synths, thrashing guitars and an insatiable chorus. It follows the first single from the deluxe album Oh No :: He Said What?, which is currently on the Radio 1 B List. Alongside Time :: Fate :: Karma :: God and Oh No :: He Said What?, the deluxe album features a further new track with the expansive and expressive Pure You and stripped versions of two of the original Dead Club City singles, Overcome and Tomorrow is Closed. The band say;
“These extra songs leave the door open a bit. We like that. Maybe we’ll want to check in on Dead Club City in a decade’s time and see how it’s doing?”
Nothing But Thieves enjoyed an incredible 2023; their fourth album Dead Club City charted at #1, they performed a sell-out UK tour, including two nights at London’s Wembley Arena, Radio 1 named their single Welcome to the DCC their Hottest Record of the Year and Radio X gave them the Best Record of the Year award for their single Overcome.
The band introduced a new era of Nothing But Thieves with Dead Club City, which was recorded and produced by Nothing But Thieves guitarist Dom Craik alongside John Gilmore (production, engineering) and Mike Crossey (mixing). The concept-style album showcased their city-sized members only club, with the tracklist and overall narrative formed by different characters and story arcs from in and around the city, with Dead Club City Deluxe expanding and evolving the storyline. Using the club as a focal point, it is easy to imagine the real-world meaning behind Dead Club City. Themes such as advertisement, unity, internet culture, the music industry, ageing and politics, as well as escapism and change are highlighted by the alienation or privilege of a members only club.
With a well-earned reputation for their energetic and impassioned performances, Nothing But Thieves ended 2023 with a sold-out headline UK and Ireland tour, including two nights at Wembley Arena and three nights at Manchester Apollo. Last year also saw them perform sold-out dates in Australia and North America. They have just finished touring their sold-out Welcome to the DCC World Tour in Europe, including two sold-out nights at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome selling a combined 34,000 tickets, before heading to South America this month.
April and May will see Nothing But Thieves return to Australia for the second leg of their Welcome To The DCC Tour, along with two shows in New Zealand this May. Later this year the band will also headline outdoor shows at Leeds Millennium Square and Cardiff Castle alongside various festival performances, and will also support Green Day on their summer tour. To close the year, they will head back to North America and Canada for a second run of tour dates in October and November.

The past few years have been quite a ride for Southend five-piece Nothing But Thieves. Amassing over 1.2 million worldwide album sales, 2 billion worldwide streams and 250 million video views, they have built up a loyal and wide following for their impactful alt rock sound and achieved global success with multiple gold and platinum records around the world, including Australia, Russia, Netherlands, South Korea and Poland. Their first two albums Nothing But Thieves and Broken Machine are both now gold in the UK.
In 2020, they released their third album Moral Panic, which charted at #3 achieving over 320 million streams and saw support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Virgin Radio and Radio X alongside winning Best Indie Act at Global Radio’s 2021 Awards. The album is now certified Silver and they followed this later that year with Moral Panic II, with both projects forming Moral Panic (The Complete Edition) in 2021. Moral Panic followed their 2018 EP What Did You Think When You Made Me This Way, their 2017 acclaimed album Broken Machine, which charted at #2 in the UK album chart, and their debut self-titled album Nothing But Thieves.
