The Irish Times Thumper have
confirmed their 2020 UK tour, taking the sextet from Glasgow to Brighton, via
Newcastle, throughout February and March. The band have also blown up airwaves
across the UK and Ireland with their infectious pop grunge single, ‘(You’re
Bringing Me) Down’.
“Down’ infuses the
best of pop and grunge, with a throwback to the glory days of 90s noise-rock.
At the center of manic beats and pounding rhythms are skillfully crafted lyrics
that reveal the beauty behind the chaos.” - Hotpress
“THUMPER are the
future rock and roll icons we’ve been waiting for. Four guitarists stage front
and 2 drummers, they create “a sonic thrust impossible to ignore”- Tony Clayton
Lea,
They are the band we’re obsessing over
with a reputation for raucous and frenzied live shows, the rock-pop sextet are
“most viscerally thrilling both on stage and on vinyl" - Hot Press
Magazine. Championed by Louise McSharry, Ed Smith, Kate Brennan Harding, and
Dan Hegarty in Ireland and with mainstream support across UK radio from Steve
Lamaq at BBC Radio 6, Dan P Carter’s Rock Show on BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing
Across the Line, Kerrang! Radio and Amazing Radio, it’s no wonder Thumper are
constantly topping the “Ones To Watch” lists and selling out shows constantly.
‘‘Down’ is a love song. It takes place
in the afterglow of an argument. The tension in the song mounts as the narrator
struggles to remember which side of the argument he’s on. As the guitars rise
the words become more ambiguous to the point of incoherence.’’ - Oisin, Lead Vocals
+ Guitar
2019 has been insane for Thumper, with
prime slots across massive festivals all summer long including Barcelona’s
Primavera, Body & Soul, Kaleidoscope, and Electrictric Picnic
followed by a sold out UK tour.
From being the highlight of Ireland
Music Week with their mosh pit showcase in The Workmans Club, to shooting a
documentary for RTE on sustainability Thumper set the perfect tone at Dublin’s
Extinction Rebellion this month.
