Hailing from the Inland Empire in Southern California, [Naive Thieves] has released their self-titled 5-song EP via their website, http://naivethieves.com, entitled From Nowhere. There is always something very, very refreshing about stumbling upon a band such as this one. It's bands like these that hold steady the faith I place in music, a faith that I place maybe a little too much confidence in given music's abundance of garbage soiling its name. This is not the case with Naive Thieves. These guys are the type of guy that make me glad to hold both ends of my broken headphones up to my ears for half an hour. The product of their efforts can be easily called music, and isn't that all we really want in the end? There are no after effects, nothing of that sort. From Nowhere gives one the impression that it was recorded in one go-around, a wholesome feel that is absent in much of the music we hear today. - Mind Equals Blown

" The singer/guitarist started going crazy on stage during one of their closing songs. Crazy like, he was running around stage, running into the bassist and their equipment. He jumped on his small little amp for about a second before the amp gave-way and slipped out from under him. Needless to say he landed on his ass in the middle of stage."- KineticsDirect.com

"MMM shoulda been born in another time. They coulda been the Smiths or the Replacements. We can only thank our lucky stars that they are here and now, and that the Smiths and the Replacements are wishing they were from another time, dreaming of being Manhattan Murder Mystery." -Grant, Echo Curio
