Introducing: The noisy, frantic punk of Super Thief (Show Wednesday!)
Hailing from Austin, TX, Super Thief draws influence from more recent noisy, hardcore-influenced bands like Pissed Jeans and Metz, as well as classic AmRep start/stop riffing. Following up on last year’s self-titled EP, the band’s new release, Dump Sink, takes everything from its predecessor and shatters it to pieces. Bass and drums hit harder, and the guitars are more frantic and noisy. The opening track, “Dog Fart,” comes out of the gate with a squeal of feedback and a drum fill, leading into a full steam assault. “Bluddded” takes things back to a very Jesus Lizard-style riff and seasick, off-kilter riffing not too different from that of local favorites Animal Lover. The EP’s short four songs close out with the instrumental “Fun With Teeth,” featuring audio samples over the noise that hark back to something that appears frequently in their earlier work. Super Thief fits nicely alongside many classic and current bands from their city, so don’t miss this fully stacked bill tomorrow night at The Nicollet.
