skythief single

One of the pleasures of being a reviewer is discovering bands within Adelaide I haven’t heard of before, with this week’s act being 5 piece rockers Skythief, consisting of Adam Barnett-Pierce (Vocals), Brett Benham (Bass), Jamie Korte (Drums), Simon Andrew Aberlé & Wolfgang Haak (Guitars).The band’s new single “Shot Me With Your Eyes” was recorded at Sodypop Studio in Adelaide, produced/engineered/mixed by Ben Ehrenberg, and mastered by Jack the Bear’s Deluxe Mastering. As a result, the production of this track is tight, solid and extremely well crafted.

There is definitely a big stadium rock quality to this single as evidenced by the musicianship of this band. In fact, the first 20 seconds initially gave me a kind of ‘Franz Ferdinand’ vibe in terms of the arrangement of the track, which has definite commercial appeal. Fans of the arena rock sound will find something in this track.
