Background:

The Flowerthief is a three-piece rock band formed in 2008 by multi-instrumentalist Christian Motos.

In 2007, to promote the release of his debut album Half, Motos enlisted the help of drummer Ben Kent, and bassist Ashley Nikolin (later replaced by Carissa Aguayo). Their 4am EP was released in 2009.

A full length Flowerthief album was released in May 2010, Without a Safety Net, produced by Michael Kiner. The record found the group combining their folky skiffle sound with straight ahead rock.
