Love and Theft

Love and Theft are a pop-country act built around the striking harmonies of Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles. After a pair of early hits -- "Runaway" went to 10 in 2009, "Angel Eyes" topped the charts in 2011 -- they settled into a relaxed, melodic groove that allowed them to slightly adapt to the times. Initially resembling a stripped-down Rascal Flatts, by the time the group released their fourth album, Need to Breathe, in 2023, the duo showed they could cannily add an adult alternative flair without losing their country flavor.
