THICKER THAN THIEVES

San Diego- based, Thicker Than Thieves, pump out a sun-baked and surf-inspired mix of heavy, reggae-inflected bass lines and blazing horns fueled by punk rock's rebellious nature," wrote Bill Picture, staff writer, San Francisco Examiner. TTT has an unrivaled So Cal sound that is fresh and original. "I love Thicker Than Thieves. I think they are a great band, completely high-energy, amazingly tight and the horn section is over the top. " says Carol Bruno, co-founder and producer of Reggae On The River.
Thicker Than Thieves is led by the vocals, lyrics and drive of lead singer Jamin Hazelaar and his charasmatic So-Cal style. Guitarist Brian Sykes brings his up-beat riffs, searing guitar solos, and revolutionary style of playing into the mix, while Jeff Thorkelsen's fusion of punk rock and reggae drumming contributes another dimension to the traditional roots groove of the band. The stage is boosted by Gus Kendrick's heavy bass lines and sub sound, and when the super charged horn section featuring Billy Eisenman and Danny Mercado hit the stage, the crowd is electrified. Listener satisfaction is guaranteed.
