Sweet Thieves

Sweet Thieves are a West London duo comprised of two lifelong friends. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, The Pierces, Nick Drake amongst others, their sound blends stripped back production with raw unfiltered emotion, carving out something distinctly their own.

Since creating their debut single “Tourist”, their original material has continued to grow in confidence and colour, marking an exciting new chapter in their sound. Their platform began only in September 2025 yet have performed 2 sold out gigs aswell as 2 festivals in the summer (Longroad and Goatfest). Their debut headline show at The Green Note in Camden sold out in a week and picked up praise from GEM Magazine, followed by another sold-out single launch at Next Door Records just eight days after it was announced. With both members heading up north in September, they are excited to see what this new phase in life will bring to their music.
