With a line-up of two drummers and four guitarists, THUMPER's maximalist wall of sound has long since set them apart in the booming Dublin music scene and has them "punching like heavyweights alongside Fontaines DC and The Murder Capital" (Chris Hawkins, BBC Radio 6).Their debut album Delusions of Grandeur was an epic introduction to the band's psych-drenched rumble which juxtaposes towering walls of distortion with saccharine melody and unabashed hooks.
Since 2021, Dublin noise-pop sextet THUMPER have gone from playing small hometown shows to touring Ireland, Europe and The UK extensively.
Playing headline shows nationwide, bringing their wild brand of frenetic live performances to the cities of Dublin, Galway, Cork, Limerick and beyond, and opening for big name artists such as Damien Dempsey, Fight Like Apes and Kasabian on their Irish tour.
In 2023 alone, the album landed them a nomination for Irish Album of the Year at the 2023 Choice Prize alongside Fontaines DC, Just Mustard, CMAT and more. Before thundering into the ESNS Radio Charts THUMPER received UK and international airplay across BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, Radio X, KEXP, Kink, Kerrang and more as well as having made noteworthy TV performances on RTE’s Tommy Tiernan Show and Other Voices.
THUMPER have become regular features at Irish festivals, appearing regularly at the likes of Electric Picnic, All Together Now, Indiependence, Other Voices, etc.
The band feel right at home on festival stages around the continent too, having made appearances at big name European festivals such as Mad Cool (Madrid), Reading & Leeds, Iceland Airwaves, Haldern Pop in Germany and Eurosonic in The Netherlands, as well as many more.
The band can not only boast great live success in recent years, but have seen their releases received well from critics and fans alike, developing a dedicated consistent listenership, with over 1 million collective streams on Spotify, shared between one album, two EPs and a handful of singles.
THUMPER are playing as part of The Complex's Depot Sessions where some of Ireland's most exciting and upcoming bands will take to the stage in the versatile and theatrical setting of The Depot's large warehouse performance space.
