We are writing new material a mixture of indie and funk and have just completed the recording of our 3 track EP which is now on this site waiting for you to listen to it!!!
Influences: Under The Thumb is a five piece band and was formed in March 06 from a group of musicians who had previously been in other successful bands. They have recently completed the recording of their demo EP and already have a loyal and ever-growing fan base. They play a mixture indie and funk tracks and this year were chosen to play at the Maidstone River Festival. They recently headlined MOSH4DOSH a charity fundraiser in London. Their musicianship is excellent and their energy on stage is awesome and they really love to perform to a big crowd.
Its so hard to define exactly what their influences are as they seem to be inspired by everything and anything. Their aim to play to more and more people, expanding their following and gaining fans everywhere they can. They will be playing many live dates in 2006, and taking their well-crafted songs to new audiences. Their sheer determination and their growing urge to be seen farther a field is leading them to seek different venues around the country.
Their 3 track demo EP with track titles 'Fade Away', 'Better Off' & 'That Guy' will be on sale at their gigs - cost £1.00.
Sounds Like: Funky catchy riffs and melodies. Well please have a listen to us and let us know who you think?? Alongside our original tracks we also play a mixture of covers by RHCP...The Kooks....Orson....Arctic Monkeys...Steriophonics....so get your dancing shoes on!!??

Record Label: None as yet, but genuine offers to be considered!
