Love & Theft

February 2nd sees the first Love & Theft release of 2010, in The Bowers hotly anticipated debut full-length ‘Her Night’ We’ve added a few morsels from the press release below (sans the bragadocious hyperbole):

Formed in late 2006, by Phil Gionfriddo, (Spencer P. Jones’ Escape Committee, Dynamo), Liam Linley (Houlette) and Rocket Science’s Paul Maybury and Kit Warhurst, The Bowers quickly rose to prominence with the release of their first 7”, ‘Ivy Climbing’ on Torn & Frayed Records (Dirty Three, Kill Devil Hills). ‘Ivy Climbing’ garnered great support from radio and press, including a marathon 4 week stint on Rage for the clip, and a programming by friends The Drones.

Two more 7”s followed, the 3 minute pop masterpiece ‘Angel Of Sorrow’ and the Holy Soul split ‘Give It’ (on Torn & Frayed and In-Fidelity Records respectively). In 2009 Paul Maybury parted with the band to concentrate on his studio and was ably replaced by Mission Control’s Spencer Dyson, as we fast-forward to 2010 and the release of the debut full-length ‘Her Night’.

There’ll be plenty more written about this release over the coming weeks and months, but for the moment, please do check out the film clip for the new single ‘Town’, directed by Rob McCafferty whose other credits include the Meredith Music Festival ‘Weekend In The Country’ documentary.
