Thunders - big week for the Indy band
This was a big week for Indianapolis' own Thunders - first being voted "Coolest Band" by Indy.com and its readers, they also were the #1 selling CD at Indy CD & Vinyl last month.
"Stack a band with musicians who have played in America Owns the Moon, We Are Hex, Those Young Lions and Ari Ari, and that quartet is guaranteed to receive a crush of attention in the Indianapolis underground. Thunders draws on such influences as the Velvet Underground and Spiritualized. The song 'Letter to the Priest' features the line "(Life) is a stroll into the light.' Thunders founder and vocalist-guitarist Ryan Reidy explains: 'I'm not one to think that life is something you have to toil through as bad things happen. Good things happen, too.'"
