On-point musicianship, a sense of unrestrained possibility and the intoxication of young anger sways, reels and rolls through The Thief, the latest, surging single from Stockport four-piece, The Rolling People. Blending raw talent and relentless rehearsal, the band’s latest step towards the release of their debut LAB Records EP, Before It’s Gone, and the landmark of their year-ending show at Manchester’s O2 Ritz, kicks up clouds of black dust with studio dials glowing at maximum volume in a display of life-affirming, off-leash power.
Gathering up main stage and major venue experiences without flinching, The Rolling People look back at their busier-than-ever recent months and outings on stages such as Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, supporting high-charting label mates, The K’s, whilst looking ahead to festival season and their debut at the Isle of Wight Festival. Picking up fans on their own, growing headline dates as well as settling in to a new movement of young bands hungry for realms of success unpatrolled by self-anointed tastemakers, the band’s infectious energy, compact songwriting and pin-sharp performances open up the wide roads of possibility ahead.
Without the music they are nothing and for all the hype and sweaty gigs, the core of The Rolling People is their growing songbook. Acerbic, direct and influenced by the great and good of pulse-quickening rock and roll, frontman, Charlie McNichol’s words and magnetic stage presence provides a totemic focus. With a sound that’s more Queens of The Stone Age than Stone Roses on The Thiefs’ less than two-minute rush, the song is propelled by the glowing kindling of rage.
