UK five-piece Nothing But Thieves have today released their new single ‘Impossible’ via RCA Records and Sony Music Entertainment Australia. The new release directly follows recent singles ‘Is Everybody Going Crazy?’ and ‘Real Love Song’ taken from their forthcoming third studio album MORAL PANIC.

Nothing But Thieves are no strangers to powerful anthems and with ‘Impossible’ the band have written another vast soundscape. Produced by Mike Crossey (The 1975, Arctic Monkeys and Wolf Alice), ‘Impossible’ is an exuberant track opening with raw emotion before launching into a huge chorus full of elated melody and affecting lyrics of hope and passion.

The band say; “In a way ‘Impossible’ is the complete antithesis of everything else on the album, which has a lot of anxiety and confusion about what’s happening on this planet. This became the opposite, zooming into one person’s head, just being lifted up and transported by a feeling of possibility and hope. It was a moment of relief that both we and the album needed.”

To coincide with today’s new release, the band have announced a huge UK, Ireland and European tour for 2021 including a headline show at London’s The O2. To keep up to date with all tour information and announce visit here.

Recent single ‘Real Love Song’ was included as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record in the World before being added to B List on Radio 1 and has already achieved 3.5 million streams worldwide. Richly anthemic and wildly grandiose, it builds triumphantly with a hymn-like euphoric melody alongside singer Conor’s poignant almost operatic vocals. Amidst mesmerising animations and a gritty performance from the band themselves, the Basak Erol directed video showcases the dreamlike story of three characters seeking love in the wrong places.

Previous single ‘Is Everybody Going Crazy?’ remained on the Radio 1 Playlist for 8 weeks as one of the band’s longest running tracks on the playlist – and locally – the single peaked at #3 most played on triple j cementing it as the band’s biggest airplay hit to date. ‘Is Everybody Going Crazy?’ has already achieved 12 million streams worldwide welcoming the exciting return of Nothing But Thieves. A gritty dark indie-rock song, lyrically it discusses a fractured, barely recognisable civilisation and desire for escapism, which proved curiously relevant to the world right now.

‘Impossible’, ‘Real Love Song’, ‘Is Everybody Going Crazy?’ and recent track ‘Unperson’, is the band’s first new music since their 2018 EP WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU MADE ME THIS WAY and 2017 acclaimed album BROKEN MACHINE , which charted at #2 on the UK Album Chart and debuted locally at #12 on the ARIA Album Chart. Their highly-anticipated third studio album MORAL PANIC is set for release on October 23 with pre-orders now live.

The past few years have been quite a ride for Nothing But Thieves. Amassing over 700,000 album sales and 750 million streams thus far, the band have built a loyal and wide following for their impactful balance of alt rock sounds and pop sensibilities, cementing themselves as one of the best current bands in the world. Having sold 150,000 tickets on their last album campaign – which included their biggest UK headline tour to date and a sold-out show at London’s Alexandra Palace, and selling out their entire worldwide Broken Machine headline tour – their success has been global. The band have performed on US television shows such as James Corden and Jimmy Kimmel , after their debut became the bestselling debut from a UK rock band in the US in 2015 and have since played packed out international shows and festivals.

In Australia Nothing But Thieves continue to prove that they’re a favourite live act down under, consistently performing to sold-out shows on each Australian tour. On the band’s last visit in 2019 Nothing But Thieves announced a surprise show at The Manning Bar which sold out in less than 48 hours; an absolutely incredible feat. Their 2018 monster triple j Like A Version of Gang Of Youths’ ‘What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out’ received instant acclaim from listeners and media alike. The coveted version peaked at #72 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2018, whilst previous single ‘Amsterdam’ landed at #70 the preceding year.

Nothing But Thieves are Conor Mason (vocals, guitars), Joe Langridge-Brown (guitars), Dominic Craik (guitars, keyboard), Philip Blake (bass guitar) and James Price (drums).
