From facebook:

We’re extremely pleased to announce that our 13th Thunder studio album is called "All The Right Noises” and will be released on March 12th 2021.

We finished it in March of this year, but because of Covid-19, we had to delay the tour and the album release. It's been very frustrating, and we almost went pop a few times, but finally we're able to tell the world about it.

"Please Remain Seated" gave us a chance to sit down and try different things, but it also allowed us to reflect on what we do best, namely blues based British classic rock at its riff-tactic best.

We were always going to return to our roots, and we've done so in a big way with this new album. Those who thought we were ready for our pipe and slippers are in for a massive shock!

The few who have heard it are already calling it the best Thunder album ever. Maybe it’s too early to say, and we're way too close to comment, but we can say this:-

1. We're very chuffed with it.
2. It's 100% Thunder, and
3. It's 100% rock!

"Last One Out Turn Off The Lights" is the first track from the new album, and we'll pop the video up as soon as it's done. In the meantime there's the little tease clip of the first 20 secs with the Singing Ringing Tree above (which is the album cover). Thunder Channel members will receive a TC stickered 7" vinyl of this tune later this month as part of their membership (with another new tune on the B-side) - just saying..

ATRN is available to pre-order now, in an eye-popping variety of formats and bundles.

Thanks for reading, and please look after yourself, we need you.

Stay safe.

Ben, Chris, Danny, Harry & Luke

Actually I don't know the whole Thunder history. I have a best of album and my band and I use to play "Love walked in" on gigs. I really like that best of, so I listened to some other songs here and there and my reactions are totally mixed - from not my cup of tea to wow.

The new song is kind of in the middle. It has the energy from "Dirty love", very cool verse and riff. The chorus is not thar great but I'd say it's a decent song. Curious about the other songs.

Yeah, I knew a few Thunder songs back in the day, but ever really got ito them.
About 10 years ago I wet through their catalogue ad it's pretty good.
I prefer the slower songs more than the rocker with this band. They seem to do ballads very well.
I'll give the new one a crack :)

Looking to hear and have a psychical copy, already made space for it in library.

Their discography might be a bit too diverse for some, but they've been pretty solid most of the time.

No comments about new Thunder ? After first few listens very good, maybe close to Wonder days. And apparently it is in close fight in sales for #1 at general album charts!

I'm liking this one more quickly that most of their older stuff so far.
Saw that Gonna Be My Girl clip today and I like the song, but I felt like I was watching Michael Bolton.
Yeah, I know they are older but sometimes it's better to imagine the song sung rather than see the reality...

I lost interest in Thunder after the first 2 albums. Saw them a few times back in the day in small clubs and also Terraplane before that.

They didnt change their sound that much. Style of songs is quite similar to their debut, and also the great voice of mr.Bowes sounds as fine as ever. Now compare that to some of thrir peers from 1990. And they are one of the rare bands of this genre in Europe, that coul fill some arenas , at least in the UK.

I wish I could see these guys live. They sound like the kind of band that is better live.

Really fine album by these guys again,they stick to their guns as usual which is what I actually like them to do,its what makes Thunder Thunder,havent changed my opinion on them since I saw them in the Rialto prior to the Back Street Symphony release and their move up after Donington not too long after.

This has some great moments,great sound...love the heavier groove of Destruction with its pounding Bassline,Young Man is also a fav of mine.

    • The EP is the other singles they have released this year plus Heartbeats and a couple of remixes.
    • Jeez this dude seemed to be releasing music once a fortnight not too long ago, but it's been some space between, ay?  This is actually a surprisingly good, big catchy melodic rocker. Didn't expect it - nice stuff. 
    • And in the most unsurprising news ever, it's awesome. Love it completely.  And is it mentioned elsewhere that this coincides with the release of a new EP called 'Hope?' https://lebrock.bandcamp.com/album/hope?from=fanpub_nfb
    • Album out March 31. From Lions Pride Music: Stellar Veil is a melodic hard rock band hailing from Athens, Greece. Formed in 2021 by members departing from the Melodic Hard Rock band Hideaway, the group sought to carve a niche that melded the heavier elements of hard rock with the melodic finesse of classic AOR. Their sound is described as heavier than traditional AOR yet more melodic than classic metal (Melodic Hard & Heavy), reflecting a unique blend of influences from the 80s hard rock and heavy metal era with a contemporary twist. Stellar Veil’s music captures the nostalgic essence of 80s hard rock and heavy metal, yet it is infused with a modern approach. Their compositions are characterized by soaring vocals, melodic guitar riffs, and dynamic keyboard arrangements, balanced with a heavier rock attitude. The band aims to offer listeners a blend of the old and new, bridging the gap between the timeless appeal of classic rock and the fresh sounds of contemporary hard rock. With their distinctive blend of melodic and hard-hitting sounds, Stellar Veil is carving out a unique identity in the world of hard rock. Their music is a testament to their passion for rock and their commitment to evolving as artists, making them a band to watch in the coming years. Stellar Veil is: Jon Soti: Vocals  Dimitris Paloudis: Guitars John Kontos: Bass Peter Papadimatos: Keys Harris Freeman: Drums Track list: 1. Safely Chained 2. To Mend A Broken Heart 3. Diamonds To Dust 4. Feel The Pain 5. A Thousand And One Nights 6. Sign Of Times 7. Cross The Line 8. Calling The World 9. Final Stand    
    • New song 'Sanctimonarium'. "The Empyrean Equation Of The Long Lost Things" Tracklist: 1. The Empyrean Equation Of The Long Lost Things 2. My Icarian Flight 3. Sanctimonarium 4. The Sacrilegious Mind Machine 5. They Call Me God 6. March Of The Saints Line Up: Andy Kuntz – Vocals Stephan Lill – Guitars Andreas Lill – Drums Alessandro Del Vecchio – Keyboards Torsten Reichert - Bass        
    • Cool interview with their lead singer, John Cooper. Bit of a surprise to see this one come up today. I enjoy Zuby's content and have been a subscriber of his channel since around 2020 in my efforts to comfort myself in the fact that I wasn't the only one in the world being completely twilight zoned by covid. But I've found him to be a level-headed, logical dude and apart from being a massive christian (like all the rest of them, lol), I find sense in a lot of what he says.  And I found out along the way that this dude from Skillet (apart, again, from being a massive christian, lol), is like-minded and actually a real stand up dude.  Funny how musically speaking, I'd take Skid Row's music ten days and fifteen back around over Skillet's, but as a human being, I have zero respect for Bach and all the respect in the world for this dude. Anyway, interesting interview and it even touches on Skillet's music more than I thought it would. As for the new album, it's Skillet, again. 100% up and down, just, Skillet.     
    • New song 'Ricochet'. From Pride & Joy Music: "Ricochet" is the first single from Mikael Erlandsson's (Autumn's Child) solo album "The Second 1" which will be released world-wide (excl. Japan) on January 24th, 2025 via Pride & Joy Music! Mikael Erlandsson has spanned a long career in the music business and today is a household name when it comes to quality Melodic Rock. Erlandsson was the frontman of the super group Secret Service for 12 years singing their smash hits ”Oh Susie” and ”10 o’clock Postman“ in packed arenas all over the world. The world class singer also released albums with Phenomena, Radioactive, Sapphire Eyes, Heartbreak Radio, Salute, Love Under Cover amongst others but is best known for his work with his own bands ”Last Autumns Dream” (14 albums) and ”Autumn’s Child” (5 albums so far). Autumn’s Child will return with a new release in 2026. Additionally to this, Erlandsson also appeared at the Eurovision Song Contest finals for Sweden, Poland, Denmark and Latvia. The Swedish artist has had a successful solo career as well, which started started with his smash debut album ”The 1”in 1994 that sold enormous copies over the world. Erlandsson to this day released 6 solo albums and now returns with a new one entitled ”The Second 1”. The title is of course aspiring to the fact that it is exactly 30 years since his first soloalbum ”The 1”. Therefore the Swede recorded the real follow-up to his first solo album in the same feel of ”The 1” capturing his own unique style of songwriting. This time, he teamed up with producer Mats M.P. Persson (Roxette) for the mixing & mastering – just as it was for his solo debut 30 years ago! Keyboards & all vocals - Mikael Erlandsson Guitars - Rasmus Ehrnborn & Mikael Erlandsson  Drums - Richard Johnsson Bass - Mats Mp Persson & Martin Olsson
