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, The Irish Times

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, 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.

Following 3 Spotify NMF hit singles and a sold out headline show in Dublin’s Lost Lane, they have signed with a major UK agent are just off the back of a 7 date back to back sell out UK tour in some of the most infamous music venues across the UK, including London’s most notorious music venue, The Old Blue Last which continues to hosted an array of superacts including Foals, Arctic Monkeys, and Florence & The Machine.

THUMPER kicked off an incredible festival season with the launch of their debut 5-track record with an exclusive signing at Tower Records and a completely sold headline show at Dublin’s Lost Lane live music venue. ‘Out of Body Auto-Message’ is the first studio record by THUMPER, produced by Dan Fox (Girl Band) and is streaming across massive Spotify editorial playlists.

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 plus more!

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 these eco friendly rockers set the perfect tone at Dublin’s Extinction Rebellion this month.

Line Up

THUMPER are a noise-pop quartet from Dublin, delivering bubblegum pop through a wall of sonic death. With a reputation for raucous and frenzied live shows, 2 EPs full of lo-fi ear worms (think Sonic Youth vs Abba), and penchant for howling feedback and pounding rhythm, this is a band u'll love 2 love.

THUMPER have played alongside several Irish contemporaries such as Squarehead, Fangclub, Raglans, OTHERKIN & Bitch Falcon (with the latter two featuring on the single "Rent Is Due"), as well as with Rough Trade's The Prettiots.

Summer 2016 saw THUMPER release their second EP 'Magnum Opuss' on Little L Records, and appear at several festivals including Electric Picnic (IE), Knockanstockan (IE), Other Voices and TRUCK Festival (UK). Magnum Opuss was subsequently featured in the top 10 EPs of 2016 by The Last Mixed Tape, REMY and District Magazine, with the single 'Dan The Man' also featuring in The Thin Air & District Magazine's top 100 songs of 2016.
