Though the band has only been writing and playing music for a couple of years, Future Thieves’ self-titled EP is indicative of their ability to melt indie, blues, and classic rock into a cohesive sound. With lead singer Elliot Collett’s raspy voice and Austin McCool’s guitar soloing leading the melodies, the EP seems to be a respectful nod to the band’s Nashville roots. For a modern touch, the band also incorporates pop structures into their songs (see “Liar” and “Out in the Night”), leaving listeners with good bridges and catchy choruses – perfect for singing along. If you’re a fan of good storytelling and cool, Americana vibes, Future Thieves — a band that never leaves those two things out of their music – is one to watch.
