- Promo video for The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Inventions from 'City of Thieves'.
Manchester's Sonic Boom Six return with their third album City of Thieves, the fifth record to be released on their own Rebel Alliance Recordings.
Whilst SB6's eclectic punk soundclash staunchly remains far too down-to-earth to ever being described as 'prog', the album follows the concept of a collection of songs that explore and examine life in a large UK city. From crass consumerism to traffic congestion, lawless youth culture to homelessness, binge drinking to street violence, Laila and the guys cast their pragmatic critique on the state of the nation, embellished by their characteristic positivity and humour.
City of Thieves is built on the bedrock of the band's unique ska-core/hip-hop/jungle hybrid but (in keeping with their original ethos of expanding the boundaries of what a punk band can be) adds dubstep, electro, dub and even glam rock to the mix, all the while retaining the snarling live edge honed by recent tours of the UK, Europe and the US with acts such as Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Bad Brains and Big D and the Kid's Table. The first class collaborators involved in the record include production duties by Peter Miles (The King Blues, The Steal), artwork courtesy of Dan Mumford (Gallows, ADTR) and guest appearances from Al Rumjen (King Prawn, ADF), Robin Leitch (Random Hand), and more!

And In fear and faith stole it from Dante's Divina Comedia. Or Virgil. Or Virgil in Dante's Divina Comedia, I don't remember. Anyway, it comes from poetry so they didn't really steal it from IFAF.
love the band, the song rapes beautifully, but the gold/purple color scheme makes me feel like im watchin an l.a. lakers halftime show
@itsjackreeves ok dearest, why do you think they are 'chavs'?
@nofxorbust They've toured together once :p
One for you one for me
It's a fairly common phrase yo. Also you meant to say you're as opposed to your.
When did sonic boom six sell out?
they've never sold out
@JDeeDyer Obviously you've COMPLETELY ignored my "they act chavvy, they sound chavvy" points but thats ok i forgive you
not really my sort of music, but there pretty cool
@JDeeDyer you cant exactly call me a moron when you think that ive based my view etirely on the fact that they wear flat peaked caps.
@leeikus Same....
@FirstHurdleOfficial rofl comment got removed xD
@YouStoleMyBike i sho does lol
@RavenAlben chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav chav I agree with your concluding statement
Weiß noch immer nicht was ich von der Band halten soll. Viele Songs hören sich an bekannte Titel sehr(!) angelehnt an, erst wird "auf punkrock" gemacht - und jetzt? (siehe Vdeo).
Naja wenn die Masse es mag ... ich mags nicht. Broilers hätten ne andere - regionale - Vorband wählen sollen, schade!
@itsjackreeves LMFAO @ you
what. never knew she was asian at all
@MrScallyman OK, have it your way. They look chavvy, they act chavvy and they sing/rap chavvy. Happy?
@MaryPwnsDaleksIRL Still chavs my friend, still chavs.
My 7yo daughter likes this one better, too :) x
@basher903 thing is, you say that but they are kinda chavvy.
@MaryPwnsDaleksIRL the awkward moment when you don't realise they're still chavs.
@itsjackreeves really? looks to me like they're musicians making music.
More hipster than chavvy...But if these guys are chavs, then they are quite open about their music tastes....
@itsjackreeves the awkward moment went you don't know what ska punk sounds like.
@itsjackreeves haha SUCH crap! they don't act chavvy.....like really, you are really quite incredibly wrong. They are intelligent people with an incredibly high social conscience. Yes they have accents, yes they rap, does not make them 'chavs'.
Sb6? act chavvy? Right... I'm from Holland, but i have some british friends and I know what a chav is. If anything, SB6 are the total opposite.
Nope, I don't
@itsjackreeves What is all this categorising nonsense? So are you calling them chavs on the grounds that they wear flat peaks and rap in their songs? Ridiculous
What the fuck am I watching?
@itsjackreeves No. I do not buy into that stereotyping. A chav in my books is aggressive, arrogant and anti-social. What your talking about is a fashon choice. Whatever your view on their music is, they do not deserved to be called 'chavs' as it genuinely is a bloody offensive term, applied all to often by close-minded people who will only hang out with people simular in style and background to themselves, creating social division. Grow up.
@itsjackreeves Take your close-minded attitude and get out.
definitely not chavs, more rudeboys than anything
Chavs making rock music, WTF?????
IN FEAR AMD FAITH > better then this shit
