Theftuous: v. tending to commit theft; n. a musical group taking inspiration from Nu Metal, Punk, Rock and Electro, blended to create a musical style all on its own.
In 2000, guitarist Massimo “Massy” Fiocco (One Minute Silence, M.U.T.O, Pink Punk) met vocalist Marcus Harrington (Relative Ash) while both were touring on Slipknot’s ‘Tattoo the Earth’ tour. Over the years, whilst both played in other acts across the U.S.A and Europe, the two fell out of touch, but some twenty years later Marcus tracked Massy down via social media resulting in the two exchanging a few musical ideas…and Theftuous was born.
Massy and Marcus rounded out the band with renowned drummer Pat Garvey (Ozric Tentacles) and bassist John Fahnestock (Snot, Amen), bringing together a mix of crafted songs, killer vocals, brutal riffs, sweet melodies, thought provoking lyrics & a steam train of a rhythm section. With influences as wide ranging as the timezones the band have been working together in, Theftuous have worked together tirelessly to create their debut release, the E.P. ‘All I Deserve’.
Recording sessions for the EP took place with Fiocco serving as the producer, with additional production from John Hendicott (Jamie Woon, Chipmunk, PinkPunk). The EP was later mixed by Chris Collier (Korn, (hed)p.e.).
Several guest appearances will appear including Brian “Yap” Barry of One Minute Silence, Chris “C.J.” Jagdhar of The Wildhearts and Benji Webbe of Skindred, Dub War.
