Single and lyric video available now
Thunder roars back with “Across the Nation,” the most metallic song on their forthcoming double Dopamine album. It’s the third single from the project that’s due on 2 CD and 2 LP on April 29th.
“This is a very direct song, about being in a band but not being able to tour. The frustration we feel because of that is huge, so we’re very much looking forward to the time when we can get out there and play,” says Thunder guitarist, songwriter and co-founder Luke Morley. “We managed to get two Christmas gigs done at the end of last year, and it was so great to be back on stage. It was emotional for the crowd as well as us: for a lot of people who came along, it was the first time they’d been out in about 18 months!”
Dopamine is Thunder’s first ever double album, consisting of 16 tracks, and comes at the perfect time for Thunder, whose line-up for the last quarter-century and more has been Morley and Danny Bowes (singer), plus Ben Matthews (guitar and keyboards), Chris Childs (bass) and Harry James (drums).
TThey’ve been riding a wave of success since their 2015 comeback album Wonder Days, releasing the acclaimed All The Right Noises last year. The record went Top 3 in the UK Albums Chart, an incredible feat for a British hard rock band into their fourth decade. Globally, it was one of their most successful albums to date. Giving them their first top 10 in Germany and Switzerland; their highest chart entry in Japan, Belgium, and Austria; and for the first time they charted in markets including France and Spain.
Thunder will also embark upon a UK arena tour in May 2022, including a date at London’s OVO Arena Wembley.
