About Me

Thundercracker is a band created by J. Thomas to capture the aspects of hard and heavy music that he holds dear. Accompanied now by bassist Shannon Sconce, the 2 are currently using their talents to write, record, and share their low-budget demos with people who still appreciate riff rock. Melody matters, but so does grunge and grime, and along with power riffs the music hopes to capture the best of classic, metal, southern rock, grunge, and stoner styles. The never-ending search for a record deal persists, but a compromise in trendy manner will never occur. The band is what it is, and hopes that the people who dig the music will stick around.

Thanks to everyone who stops by to hear the rock, supports us, and spreads the word. If things ever work out and go our way, we'll have a hell of a time in your city someday. God bless, and turn it up!
