Thieves were a project of David McAlmont, later of McAlmont & Butler (as in Bernard Butler of Suede) semi-fame. That's twice in a week I've mentioned Suede, and I don't even like them.
They were an odd little band and not really easy to categorise. Their main appeal lay in David's voice, an absolutely lovely thing which the songwriting never quite did justice to. I didn't hear much of McAlmont & Butler but I suspect the same was true for them as well.
This is from the 1990s but it has a really mid-1980s feel, I think.
