“With A Blue Girl marking the Chicago industrial/alt. rock collective’s third outing, The Joy Thieves continue to ascend in the annals of the underground music scene. Already hosting an impressive roster of contributing musicians, the band’s sound keeps mutating into a strange brew of styles that is no shortage of noisy energy and total rock & roll fury.” - Ilker Yucel

— ReGen Magazine

“Catchy, yet still corrosive, “A Blue Girl” trades the band’s usual blunt force trauma for something more melodic, the addictive hooks a throwback to the huge, anthemic rock singles of the 80’s, but with some added ‘Thieves magic thrown into the mix. Elsewhere, the mighty Chris Connelly (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Fini Tribe) returns on ‘The Badlander’, a grinding slowburn of a song that harks back to his days in Murder Inc. The furious, punk-powered frenzy of ‘Dead Weight’ balances the Nina Hagen-esque ‘The Capsule Answer’. It’s the sound of a band refusing to tread water whilst continuing to forge ahead into exciting new sounds and moods.” - Jess Williams
