Thunderegg – New Album Approaching
Having spent some time locked in the Sound of Music studios, Thunderegg, who I’ve mentioned before, are approaching the release of their new album, probably some time this Autumn.
Laid back rock sounds, witty lyrics and a really engaging way about their music tend to follow these lads around, so I am assuming we can expect more of the same from the new album. They’ve kindly posted four sample tracks on their MySpace page for us to preview, so pop over and have a sniff.
I liked Long Way From Home so much I put it on this week’s podcast, and I reckon the new stuff sounds really rather promising, which is excellent news. Have a listen – they remind me either of late Men They Couldn’t Hang, or even a little of The Mutton Birds on occasion.
Thunderegg – Long Way From Home
Nice post! Now to do some research on the Mutton Birds…
They were a Kiwi band, based in London for the most part, I think, who did three albums in the mid-90s of which the first was probably the best. Definitely worth looking into. I’d suggest Amazon Marketplace – I bet you can get their albums for bugger all there.
Very good. And they have tons of other songs available for download on the myspace page and at their own website. How very kind of them.
They’re really nice lads too: sent me over a baseball card with their album and everything.
this post makes me feel so guilty. i’ve had this week on my desk for months and months and after listening to part of it once, i just couldn’t bring myself to finish, let alone review it. oh, the shame of it.
It’s worth having a pop at that actually, Marcy. Some very good bits on that album.
