Company of Thieves were a Chicago indie rock band built around singer Genevieve Schatz and guitarist Marc Walloch, and their calling card was her voice: big, bright and fearless, the kind that can take a modest guitar riff and fling it at the back wall.
Their first album, Ordinary Riches, came out on their own in 2007 and got a second release in 2009, with the bouncy "Oscar Wilde" among its highlights. Running from a Gamble followed in 2011, and it's a punchier, more polished record: "Tallulah" and "Death of Communication" crackle with urgency, all driving guitars and soaring choruses.
In January 2014 the band said they had no plans to make new music, but they announced a reunion in May 2017.
