Love And Theft Throws In Gratuitous Offerings On New Release

“We have the most amazing fans in the whole wide world,” declared Love And Theft’s Stephen Barker Liles, “and with everyone’s wallets stretched pretty tight these days, we wanted to offer them more bang for their buck when they go buy our new CD.” 

“So when we went to our label [Carolwood Records] about it we all started talking and came up with a bunch of different things we could give back to our fans when they buy the CD or download the record,” finished band mate Eric Gunderson. 

Various stores will have different limited edition versions of Love And Theft’s album, World Wide Open. Liles, Gunderson and the final member, Brian Bandas, spent tens of hours on buses, airplanes and in hotel rooms autographing the signature edition that can be found in Target stores.  At Wal-Mart and walmart.com when you purchase the album, it will contain a code to download 3 demo/acoustic versions of the band’s songs. And the CDs at Best Buy will contain a poster of Love And Theft inside the package. 

Online outlets will also offer up some love from Love And Theft.  At iTunes when you download the full album, you will receive 2 previously unreleased bonus tracks. Amazon will offer up a bonus track to fans as well. 

After opening shows for Taylor Swift in 2008, Love And Theft is currently on the road playing shows and promoting their debut single, “Runaway.” Love And Theft has been featured on The Today Show, Access Hollywood and in the pages of People magazine and has had its music included in promos for ABC’s daytime programming.
