February 8th, 2012 | By
The hard-hitting sounds of Brisbane rock outfit Greenthief will reverberate along the east coast in March and April, as the band announce a twelve-date tour supporting their anticipated upcoming single ‘Epidemic’.
Greenthief’s forthcoming track is their latest offering since 2011’s ‘Retribution’. Their sophomore EP, recorded with renowned UK producer Steve James (Sex Pistols, The Jam), was received graciously across the country last year, earning the band a place as a finalist in the Queensland Music Awards and an inclusion in Rage’s Top 50 video clips of the year. Youth radio broadcasters triple j showed strong support for standout tracks ‘Vultures’ and ‘Salad Days’ before showcasing Greenthief as a featured artist on their Unearthed website.
