Future Thieves are kind of like the millennial Kings of Leon, and not just because they sound alike. They’re both Southern, but disavow twangy guitars and lyrics about girls and trucks in favor of good ol’ rock & roll. (Or, if you prefer, alt rock.) Formed more than two years ago, the band is made up of Elliot Collett (vocals and rhythm guitar), Austin McCool (guitar), Nick Goss (drums), and Gianni Gibson (drums). After their debut album Horizon Line came out in 2015, the band has honed its chops at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Summerfest, and has toured throughout the country. In March, they’ll be showcasing their newest songs, featured in the recently released live album Live at Blue Rock at SXSW; beyond that is a European tour. 

Collett tells Myspace about why they're releasing a live album, where their name came from and how Myspace changed his life. Hop to the next page to read the full interview.
