New Thunder material announced for November
Message from Thunder:
Yes people, after what seems like a long time indeed (actually it's not), I can finally announce that the new LP is here. Well not actually here, it won't be out until November, but I thought you'd want to know, so here are the details...
 Title: Bang!
Cat No: STC2008-3
Release date: November 3rd 2008
1. On The Radio - 2. Stormwater - 3. Carol Ann - 4. Retribution - 5. Candy Man
6. Have Mercy - 7. Watching Over You - 8. Miracle Man - 9. Turn Left At California
10. Love Sucks - 11. One Bullet - 12. Honey
The record was recorded at Walton Castle in Clevedon, near Bristol, in the sunny South West of England, at various times during the spring of this year. The place is not a studio as such, but the band thought the 2 foot thick stone walls and large selection of rooms and turrets would work brilliantly, so they moved all their recording kit, all the equipment, tons of cables and pipes, and their swimming trunks down to the place, and guess what? They were right! As he who controls all things, I have heard it, and it sounds fab! All songs were written by Luke, except Watching Over You (which he wrote with Andy Taylor Jr and Mike Keen).
As is tradition, I'll be uploading a short audio clip each week, between now and the release date(

The band were busy as beavers down at Marge's Castle. Not only did they record Bang! there, they also finished off the third EP while they were at it. As promised back in 1582, the third EP will be released at the same time as Bang! and here are the details:-
 Title: The Joy Of Six
Cat No: STD2008-2
Release date: November 3rd 2008
1. Yesterday's News (Naked Version) - 2. See My Baby Walking - 3. I Believe (Missionary Position Version) - 4. So Sad Today - 5. Only You Can Make Me Cry - 6. Survivor
If you bought the Six Of One and Half A Dozen Of The Other EPs, some of the more eagle eyed among you will no doubt notice that two of the tracks on The Joy Of Six appear on the first 2 EPs. This is where it gets interesting... It transpires that the band recorded Yesterday's News and I Believe live for a couple of radio sessions earlier this year (you may have heard them). They turned out so well that they took them into the depths of the castle of a bit of a tweak, re-recorded some bits and added some new, added the odd eye of toad and lips of newt, stirred it up in the pot and came up with a couple of rather splendid new laid back version excursions.
The Joy Of Six comes in a very sexy chunky cardboard box with a lift off lid, and it's big enough to fit the Six Of One and Half A Dozen Of The Other EPs in there too. How great is that? Please note that like the previous two EPs, The Joy Of Six is a limited edition release, and will not be available forever.
Your pre-order awaits you here.
