Company of Thieves - "Pressure" (Official) HQ

[LLevy4]

I saw them open for Pete Yorn and David Gray on Dec 6th, 2009 at the Hammerstein in NYC - they were AWESOME. After their set Genevieve came and sat in our balcony to watch David Gray - my friend and I said good job, and she introduced herself and was super friendly! Such talent that is so down to earth is rare these days and really inspiring. Must be Chicago!

[xmeganisawierdoxx]

wow, amazing voice. :O

[AsheInWonderland]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I love Company Of Thieves, I can't wait to see them tonight in Baltimore.

This is the second time seeing them live. :D <3

[anarchychik101]

the drummer is my brother ^.^ jealous? thought so!!

[Onderonable]

Can you prove that?

[datickywickygurl]

im so addicted to this song! and wow...she is gorgeous!

[rednoseroxy]

My heart melts when I watch her sing. So strong, so soft and so fucking beautiful. I think I'm in love.

[pinehawk99]

That voice!!!

[Atlixco1984]

shes got an amazing voice

[dcaCrush1]

I saw these guys in Philly a couple of months ago. God she's hot. There's just something about her.

[nosferatsu0831]

yeah her voice.

but nah shes pretty too

[churutloko]

@dcaCrush1 i feel just the same way about her, she's so damn sexy.

[emmz4life1]

in LOVE with COT <3333 Saw them last year and oing to see them again in December <3 can't wait ^-^

[fifithefrog]

im seeing them in december too! wher r u?? i am goin to troy

[emmz4life1]

I was gonna go to Columbus... But thats a 3 hour drive so my dad wont let me go D: I flipped out, cuz there going to play with Annuals, he other fav band =.=

[xxmarsheemallowsxx]

my friends mom goin 2 this in troy lol

[unSTOPableH2T]

hahaha i thought the same thing but what they do is record the song first and "pretend" to play when they are shooting the video. i watched a lot of MTV making the video and thats how they did it

[oldskooldoritos]

i find it hard to believe he can play well with all that motion. unless he's just that awesome.

[therobz]

They dressed as Wizards of Oz characters in Kansas City tonight as well. I thought they were a lot more fun than Our Lady Peace.

[RLaidEPeas]

I too was at the show last night at the Pageant in St Louis. Company of Thieves was awesome! Totally dug the Wizard of Oz outfits.

Our Lady Peace was good - but they were better when Mike Turner was still playing guitar with the band. It was a good show though.

[MoRahn666]

I saw these guys last night in St Louis opening for Our Lady Peace. Amazing band. Probably one of my favorite live performances.

Although it was the night before Halloween so they were all dressed up like characters from the Wizard of Oz. No idea how this is how they actually looked. lol.

Lead singer is definitely 10/10. Looks like Scarlett Johansson just a bit.

[xxxkolin]

i was a the same show and i definitley agree, OLP rocked the shit outta that place too

[RUSHisCOOL69]

God shes so pretty.

[iamawombat101]

So gooooooood! Soo Good. I need to buy their CD on Zune Marketplace.

[boons50]

word

[Shaneisthebestever]

I'm in love with this song

[88mbrahm]

Stunned and amazed!! Like a breath of fresh air after being under water for a long time. Genevieve rocks.

[ratchetdude2009]

"Even in the dark" captured me, i kept on watching videos and though i dont know about music the vocalist sounds great to me. The best female vocalist for me. She´s just great, the best.

[lovemylittlelie]

i love them. i need to buy their cd.

[juliajealousyx]

I saw you guys in Wicker Park. I hope I can see you again!

[liamsnorthstar]

2 days and I get to see them in concert! Very excited, they are talented, she has beautiful vocals, they are an all around a great band.

[jwish827]

My absolute favorite female vocalist, she's brilliant! I also love the move at 4:12 :)

[0rangecrushed]

AWESOME!

[buzzpupster]

Their debut album is phenomenally awesome! Richly textured and filled with intrigue and emotion! You must check this out. BY THE WAY, this video looks like it was filmed at the Chicago Cultural Center on Randolph St. !!! Peace, Ken Stavitzke.

[leadsynth]

Close! It was filmed in a mansion on the south side, and the lobby of the Congress Theater in Chicago.

[BalconyNerdsInk]

i dont know about the decemberists or anything, but i really like them. my favorite is "new letters" incredible album guys.

[vote4dancingpenguin]

Yes th lyrics are simple and it's not catchy, but that's not the point of the song. Listen to her amazing voice andand the good back music. its lovely

[pontepolentepontepi]

I love this video :-)))

[Paigeicleyocho]

Good sound, but songs aren't very catchy.

[dapokey]

Thats the whole point. I like them for that reason. The bands that have good sounds and non catchy songs forces the listener to listen to the words of the song. I love them and the passion they have.

[Paigeicleyocho]

That might be true to me if the lyrics were complicated/artistic, but its pretty straight forward. I find it a tad boring.

[cc3814]

Thats a rather odd view, that artistic and complicated correlate? Look at Hendrix's lyrics they are all very simple, not complicated at all or The White Stripes very do the essential and simplistic approach the best of all the recent bands.

[Paigeicleyocho]

I'm not saying that they correlate, but if the lyrics have underlying meanings/ could mean more than one thing/ open for interpretation, etc.. it can make it more interesting. I guess using the word "interesting" lyrics would've been more appropriate. The white stripes comparison I also disagree with. Their music is MOST of the time simplistic, but their lyrics are very artistic and many times not straight forward.

[Stevedanenson]

What, because they happen to be wearing some old outfits, now somehow you are comparing them to the Decemberists? Good lord......

[DameAlexander]

wow, this girl is singing her heart out, and people are being negative towards each other. The beauty of her art is totally tainted by this. Give her the respect of listening and being kind, I am sure this is what she had in mind.

[JordanR2011]

I met your drummer the other day at my cousins grad party, and he was really nice. I absolutely love your band now:) Very nice.

[secretunderwhere]

Saw yall when you were in Austin. Love the video =)

[meniniinha1]

Perfeitoo!!!

[anafelix]

Anybody know where I can get a dress like the black one Genevieve is wearing?

[kateyisalive]

Okay, why would you believe everything you hear? Company of Thieves is a great band, why would you bring them down? They've just begun to gain momentum as band. I saw them live last summer, this song is amazing live, especially when it's pouring rain. BOO HATERS. Hate is so unnecessary.

[fourpistons]

ppl who keep hoping its like another band is obviously gonna be disappointed so stop thinking its gonna be like another band

just except the music for what it is

good band by the way

[KyndallMccallx3]

agreed, nothing like jenny or the decemberists.

disappointing..

[Alivefornow]

agreed, nothing like jenny or the decemberists.

thank god..

[snailman1962]

why do they need to be compared to anyone, can't you just enjoy the music for what it is?

[Shadowlily21]

cause when an ad tells u it's going to be jenny lewis and it's not - then u compare it.

[LifeIsLiar]

Sounds nothing like Jenny Lewis. D=

They promised me something similar to The Decemberists.

Epic fail, Facebook.

[waterbottle394]

True that!! I came here with the same expectations as you!

[katelynislegend]

how are they advertising so well? i've seen the ads on myspace and facebook. adspace is probably so expensive, esp for a starting band.

[laurendrums22]

money.

[katelynislegend]

wow, what a smart answer. i never even thought of that. you could really do something special with your brains, does MIT know about you? because i'm sure that they would love to have someone with such a baffling brain, and quick answers. they could name a paradox after you and call it the "lauren the smart-ass"..

[laurendrums22]

hahahhh, yeah okay ms genius over here. i wasn't kidding.

i just answered the question completely honestly. like you said the ads on myspace and facebook? yeah, they paid for it.

i don't see why you felt the need to backlash on a correct answer, especially to your oh-so- mind baffling question...loll...haha.

[technetium01]

Uhh obviously they are a part of a record label and are represented by some sort of management. Those people deal with advertising the band.

[laurendrums22]

you. should have specified then. bahahh you are a pretty hostile person.

[katelynislegend]

wow, really? am i? when did this happen? you don't even know me. once again, pretty smart answer. thank you for your insight. idiot.

[laurendrums22]

lmao.. way to be a hypocrite. you don't know me either. so you can't call me an idiot with anymore justice than me calling you hostile.

nice try though :)

[JerTheGerm]

The Facebook ad said that she would be similar to Jenny Lewis. I'm truly disappointed.

[dollie90]

i'm sorry, but this is nothing like jenny lewis.

man, i got really excited too.

sad day :/

[TheCitySkyscape]

Seriously? It's been said already, but I agree. Screw you Facebook. Nothing like the Decemberists. What, just because they dress in period clothing? Other than that, no similarities. Lyrical content is FAR inferior to the likes of the Decemberists, and the music is snoringly uncreative. The singer is awfully adorable and has quite a fantastic voice however, reminiscent of Regina Spektor indeed...would far rather see her singing a different genre.

[MelloncollieflourRoc]

I like them and I like Regina Spektor. I see the similarities. They're good.

[rmusicfessy]

How is this at all like the Decemberists?!?! Her voice is like Regina Spektor, though. That was kinda interesting.

[knoxyears52]

well despite what anyone will say about the comparisons, it got you to watch the video. that's why i'm here, too. not a bad song at all. not great, not revolutionary, just a solid song.

[PamelaMurl]

I'M ANGRY AFTER THIS VIDEO.... I just LOVE the DECEMBERISTS and what does Company of Thieves have to do with them? It's like comparing Apples to garlic! Hell this group is more like Avril Levigne or some of that other girly type music....NAH not like the Decemberists.

[JakeClawson1]

I realize I'm probably the like 5th person to say this,

But Facebook your a lying bitch.

Decemberists > Company of Thieves

[Akatalin]

I think why they paired them is , the go well together like one said about touring . But also if you have listened to the ablum , they are more story like than song. I was glad I got the ablum =)

[ultimatepapelbon]

This is nothing like the Decemberists. Screw you Facebook.

[ihavenormalnails]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

[ToolxXxAPC]

Actually I see a vague Ra Ra Riot resemblance in that she sounds a bit like Alexandra and Rebecca on Ghost Under Rocks.

[pipertheredworm]

This song sounds like it will be on Gossip Girl soon...very soon if it hasn't been already. Don't get the Ra Ra Riot comparison that Facebook was throwing in my eyes.

[JoewithouttheE]

its not that they sound like them, its just that they'd sound good touring with them

[mp3dglasses]

Wow. sounds absolutely nothing like the Decemberists.

[ZOMarGot]

how are they compared to the decemberists???

[TheOtherVenkman]

Awesome. I hope they come to the Bay Area sometime.

[spoorq]

i don't think this band should be compared to the decemberists...

[jscharpf]

Reminds me of Bell Book and Candle

[Splek]

She sounds like Regina Spektor. But I like it.

[REAXion2]

The  second I heard her voice I fell in love

[Shipwrck86]

who's the guy in the white?....cant be bob he's in the beater in the other scene..doesn't look like him either..

[pnutmeh]

she has great stage presence. saw them at the 9:30 club in DC. great performance. =]

[darkangel1597]

aww i remember staying up awake watching JBTV with my sisters and i heard this song and oscar wilde! been a fan ever since = i am also in Chicago yay! they are gods Genevieve is a goddess!

[dcunited81]

great band, better people!! I wish nothing but the best for all of you.... If you think this band is ordinary in any strech of the imagination you need to check them out live!!! Can't wait to see you when you come up to the Green Bay area again...

[ignoreUtube]

Very cool, I love watching Genevieve sing! I would love to see you all live if I ever have the opportunity.

Anyways, I love your style. Love your music, love the clothes! Keep it up!

[autumnya]

She sounds like she has a speech impediment. Is she deaf?

[emmz4life1]

No Genevieve is not deaf.... I meet her before and talked with her after a show along with my family.......

[surfininalaska]

No, that's just the way she sings. I like her voice, personally.

[gert72]

True, they aren't very unique. However her voice is very soothing, I love their sound.

[Lawlsrsly]

Meh. They're just alright. They aren't too mainstream, which is good, but they aren't all that original either. The singer is cute though =p

[buzz8785]

her voice is pleasant to the ear...I love it!

[ciaobello82]

OMG.. i LOVE THEM!!!.. ahhh addicted.

[DScooking]

I've been a fan sience they released the cd. My favorite band by far! You rock! Ive been to 2 of their shows

[Twilightswimmer]

I just became a fan of an amazing band....wow. This song is just so...so...

[sombrasul]

you guys rock!! im still following you!!!

[sweatytoothmadman]

Notice the Mime rocking out in the background at 3.58.

[jasonart199199]

this song is the BOmB!!!!!...you guy are fantastic at this!!!...and what an awesome video!!!...BRAvo!!!!!!

[croninnn]

just saw Company of Thieves at a show here in Boston last night it was amazing my friends and I all had a great time. great presence and the whole band sounded great haha this was my favorite song!

[CandiceVermillion]

This is nothing like Adele.... Adele can sing... she is just mediocre.

[jdbabyv3]

k so yes i agree that they are not like Adele, she has an amazing voice. but i dont think its fair to say that she is "mediocre" shes a hell of a lot more talented than some of this crap that comes out nowadays

[OokamiBlack]

I think i just became a fan...

[captainrendezvous]

I'm a very big fan. Truthfully, though, I'd love to see a fire song video....the acoustic version of it is quite possibly my favorite song of theirs.

[PiranhaPettingZoo]

The New Pornographers? Facebook, I call bullshit.

[rbktendie31]

seriously.

[punchNbabies]

they r a very talented group and there album is 5 out of 5. its a shame they cant get n e play. oscar wilde is an amazing song and deserves to b on mtv and more radio play. hope they stick it out and make another album. F the haters

[modemtapper21]

tru dat niyagga.

[musicrocksursox]

The verses have a bit of an aquired tune ,don't get me wrong, this song is good , but not as great as the other songs. I don't really like how the tune sits with her voice.

[cejp90]

I love this song and the video it`s so nice Gen looks so beautifull in there.

[bkrangel850]

A facebook ad tricked me and said this band sounded like New Pornographers. Hell no. This shit sucks. Stupid video, too.

[arowman]

pop song + hint of indie mix FAIL

this song is boring, a sad attempt at cookie cutter song progression, and nothing i haven't ever heard before.

the vocalist is breathy, but in a bad way

[psyopjedi]

I'm pretty sure she's channeling Fiawna Forte.

[nonamette]

I love women who can still look beautiful without any make up.

[discoax12]

WOW...

[roberito666]

I agree, her voice is always amazing, but this song is a little dull for me too.

[kairiXtifa]

I find this song a little..dull. I'm just saying

[216stitches]

I agree. NM is very talented and this song is lame compared to her earlier work. She's much more passionate when she writes about social issues.

[kerricol]

Gen looks amazing... and the song kicks some big behinds as well :)

[michelle123my123bell]

love this song.

i heard their song "oscar wilde" on the radio and fell in love, so i looked at some of their other stuff and their amazing!

i love her voice

[BeeRoll]

Great mise en scene, vivid colors and detail, the video was spectacular. However, I think the video might have been released too early, I think they need to keep pushing "Oscar Wilde" as hard as possible until the public is tired of it and then slightly fade into playing their other songs. Just my opinion. Not hating, Love it all. See ya at the next show.

[jslbrt]

I agree completely. From a marketing point even, it just seems logical.

Anyway, I can't get over how cute the singer is. The 2007 release is incredible also.

[dahlbergenterprises]

I'm surprised at how little views this has. I would have figured a voice like this would pull in more peeps.

[nolaOE800]

yet another one bites the dust. very generic, very shopping mall friendly. lame. its a shame because the singer seems like she's got massive potential to actually be unique, yet they choose to go the road of the crappy radio-rock sellout. i think i'll check out some of their earlier stuff in hopes that it doesnt suck as bad.

[DJforrest1234]

you can go ahead and fuck yourself, this is one of the most unique bands out there

[cweezy928]

well considering that this is from the debut album i would say you would just end up not liking them at all then. radio rock is not what this band is, no band who is radio rock has a guitarist who is as boss as marc. or a beastly bassist like bob or someone as kick ass on the keys as mike. not to mention gen ( im not mentioning her because everone else already has) and the drummer mike, this band is by far the best indie band, just because they are poppy doesnt meen sell out, you fail

[RequiemForADream6]

HEY YEAH THE CONGRESS THEATER. yay!

[BeeRoll]

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't 100% sure, but hell you can dress it up however it will always be the same theatre, new duds.

[flickerchocho]

THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!

[spiederayne]

i loooooooooveee this band .i haven't listened to anything else in ike three months

[marcmlogan]

I love you guyes. I'm moving from hawaii to north cali and when I get a chance to see all of you we will have to sit down and have a beer together for sure.

[krispice9]

awesome song!

just came across this band, i love everything i've heard so far!!

[fujilives]

very cool video and interesting/somewhat addicting song, thank you for sharing!

[highwayguy]

Great song. Love it

[Bunnyontherocks]

To me it sounds like she's whispering sensually, of course she isn't! But it just sounds... I dunno, but it just sounds great to me!

Maybe you should hear her voice when the whole band is at the Grand Canyon (are they?), it's all acoustic and she just sounds brilliant! *the song is "Even in the Dark," I believe. :) *

Video is great, as always. :)

[patlgn12]

comment 6- wonderful.

It's a shame I won't be able to go to their next show in philly

[jharmon05]

When and where will they be in Philly next? I really want to go. I just hope they don't have some boy band open for them this time.

[circasilversun]

BRILLIANTLY AMAZING as always COT!!!

[bristollocal14469]

1:03 is when I decided that I really like this song

[raquelxradical]

Stunning<3 One of my favorite songs.

[cheng2012]
