Thunder - Six of One
Thunder will be releasing 3 EPs before finalizing a full length album. The concept of the EPs is 3 new studio songs and 3 live songs. "Six of One" is the first EP in the trilogy series. According to the always humorous Thunder, these EPs give them a bit more time to finish the new album.
 
The songs are not outcasts or second rate Thunder. The 3 studio songs are Thunder as we know them; British blues based rock driven by Luke Morley and Ben Matthew's characteristic guitars and Danny Bowes emotional voice.
 
All 3 studio songs are concise Thunder rockers that won't disappoint any fan of traditional Hard Rock. The live tracks see Thunder is their right element. I have seen the band 3 times. Firstly on the "Behind Closed Doors" tour in 1995, later in London on the "Shooting at the sun" tour and last year at Sweden Rock festival. Every time they have been splendid with the feeling that this time was a bit better than last time.
 
The live songs are recorded in Scotland 2006 all from their latest studio album. Thunder is amazing on stage and you sense the live atmosphere from Glasgow on What a Beautiful Day. Read the review of Thunder live at Sweden Rock 2006 for a feeling of their live shows.
