SHANGRI-LA: REVIEWS

Classic Rock Magazine:

"Sharp and smart and as bright as Jon Bon Jovi's teeth, and with a similar ear for a stong melody, they have the poise and thump of something like Skid Row's second album; songs for days"

PlanetMosh:

"In over forty five years of listening to music, mainly rock and metal and fourteen years of reviewing, it takes a lot to impress me, especially when it’s a debut album, but Sunderland based Thieves Of Liberty have torn up the rule book"

Emerging Rock Bands:

"Thieves of Liberty have done more than meet expectations with their debut album. Not only does it confirm what we know from their live shows which is that they can play catchy, hook-laden modern hard rock: it also shows that they have matured as song writers and can explore emotional depth as well as rocking out with the best of the rest"

TotalRock:

"Excellent writing, top drawer playing - especially the guitar work - and there's no doubting their singer's vocal prowess"

Great Music Stories:

"Confident, vital, purposeful and alive - debut albums seldom mark the peak of a band's creative evolution but Thieves of Liberty certainly make a clear statement of intent with this fine album"

"The biggest headline-killers since Those Damn Crows"
