Todays the day! No it’s not a Dolmio advert, it’s the day that Cork’s pop-metal band Time Is A Thief release their début album “We’re Not Strangers”.

We are still working on our review, but at first listen the album certainly proves it to be as accessible as any metal act has been for this writer (who would not consider himself in any way a fan of the genre). There are few acts that blur the lines like that and bridge the gap but Time Is A Thief have managed to reel me in.

Lead track Eyes is as good an example of that and indeed we will most likely be dropping in on their album launch show in The Academy 2 on May 6th. We have a competition to win tickets to that show too so if you want to join us down the front, click HERE.

We will have the album review up soon, but for now, formulate your own opinions and let us know in the comments!
