Today, Summer Thieves release a new WWE inspired lyric video for the rock-heavy anthem Rey Mysterio. The electric five-piece released Bandaids and Lipstick last month, their long-awaited EP that "is injecting a heavy dose of summer into the darkest part of the year" (Waiheke Weekender). Laced with infectious melodies and guitar-driven rhythms Bandaids and Lipstick epitomises Summer Thieves' unique fusion of roots, pop, rock and hip-hop. Watch the video for Rey Mysterio here.
Summer Thieves recently wrapped up a successful nationwide release tour, their first run of shows since the beginning of the year. A tremendous return to the stage as the Dunedin locals packed out venues in Raglan, Mt Maunganui, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wanaka. Summer Thieves now prepare for their next project to be announced later this year. Stay tuned!

From humble beginnings performing at Dunedin parties to playing alongside some of the world's most revered artists - Summer Thieves have rightfully earned their spot as one of Aotearoa’s most prized up and comers.
Singer and guitarist Jake Barton and drummer Johnny Ward began playing together in high school at the age of 15. Fast forward to 2011, they joined forces with Adam Spencer (bass) and consequently formed Summer Thieves. Starting at Dunedin Scarfie parties and covers gigs, they quickly became a crowd favourite and it wasn’t long before they started amassing a legion of dedicated fans nationwide. Since forming, Summer Thieves have expanded to a five-piece line-up recruiting Izzy Bones (keys and guitar) and Jarni Blair (lead guitar).
Summer Thieves teamed up with multi-award-winning producer and artist Tiki Taane for their debut album, Warped. Together they created a 12-track journey laced with catchy hooks and toe-tapping, head-bobbing rhythms. In 2017 Warped was released into the world and a slew of festival shows and sold-out tours ensued. The boys cemented themselves as a must-see within the New Zealand festival and gig circuit with repeat performances at Rhythm & Vines, Bay Dreams, Rhythm & Alps and Raglan’s Soundsplash, and it doesn’t end there! They’ve opened for hip-hop royalty Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Hermitude, Australia’s Sticky Fingers, Peking Duk, and Ocean Alley as well as local heavyweights Six60, Katchafire and Sons Of Zion.
