    Company of Thieves, 'Pressure' -- Video Premiere

    In the video for the second single off their debut album, 'Ordinary Riches,' Chicago rockers Company of Thieves kept it local with director J.P. Riley. Frontwoman Genevieve Schatz sets up the clip perfectly. "Picture this: A ceaseless cavalcade cruising around the city of Chicago, cut as a cast of characters clad in crazy costumes for 19 straight hours with a clever camera crew, a chic production chiefship, a caring lighting camp and an incomparable creative clapboard-and-red bull-clenching director," she tells Spinner. "Now say that ten times fast and what you will get is the new music video for 'Pressure.'" Watch the premiere exclusively on Spinner.

    They are awesome. The first band in a while that I actually really like. This is a great song and cool video. Hopefully there will be more songs, videos and CDs down the line.

    I've seen them twice now, once at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago and once in Valparaiso, Indiana. Both times they were phenomenal. If they stop in or anywhere near you town, do yourself a favor and go see them live.

    Wow. What a great video!

    I had a rare opportunity to be part of this video shoot, but I had to work. I probably would not have been able to last the whole shoot, but the nineteen hours was well worth it.

    I love the video just as good if not better than Oscar Wilde. I don't think I could ever get sick of Company of Thieves

    Much like their other single 'Oscar Wilde,' this video is fantastically produced and has an amazing narrative quality.

    This band is going to be HUGE. YYY's huge.

    This band is sick. Genevieve Schatz has a sick voice - something like if Fiona Apple interbred with a more hardcore Bjork. The whole band puts on a truly impassioned, live performance. I saw them in (ugh) Hollywood when they were in the buried in the middle of a long roster of acts, and they distinctly stood out (even though my own friend's band was on that very roster.)

    Keep up the good work, CoT. Your day will come.

    I don't know what age group this band attracts but I am 42 yrs old and they have caught my ear---been so long since that has happened I almost forgot how it feels to really like a new band---They are great!
