They Live By Night is not only the name of a 1948 movie about bank robbers but is also the name of a Swedish (Gothenburg based?) band.
However that's all I can tell you about the band with the exception that they make a nice little racket which, genre wise, is hard to place. They do sound like a mix of their compatriots "The Hives" mixed with more than one or another of the bands influences - I can hear the echoes of Wire or Franz Ferdinand in the tracks for instance. Indie pop or Twee this certainly is not but it certainly blows the cobwebs away.
They Live By Night - Truth Or Dare
They Live By Night - Night Out
If these tracks take your fancy head for their homepage where you can download another track, "House Of Addicts"
EDIT: The band now have a blog. For some reason i feel a little bit guilty LOL!




Ok, we're working on putting some english info on the site now since a lot of people from the US and UK are visiting us thanks to this blog. (Thanks Tom!) Anyway - yes, we're from Gothenburg, Sweden and we will be releasing our debut Ep this september. We plan to play all your parties very soon. //Loads of love - TLBN
