Thunder - Going Out With A Bang (Paperback)


Often billed as 'the biggest band you've never heard of', British rockers Thunder have spent the past two decades entertaining sell-out crowds and an increasingly loyal army of fans all over the world. They've released nine studio albums and supported some of the biggest acts on the planet; they've had 18 Top 40 hits; they even stole the show in front of more than 70,000 fans at the 1990 Donington Monsters of Rock Festival. Yet when they announced their Twenty Years And Out Farewell Tour and retirement in 2009, it went largely unnoticed by the mainstream music media. Now, long-time fan Chris Rogers has gone back over 20 years of rock archives, using a huge range of interviews and features combined with his own experiences of following the band, to tell the unofficial and unauthorised story of Thunder ... from their early years in South London as Nuthin' Fancy and Terraplane, right through to their emotional July 2009 farewell at Hammersmith Apollo.
