Recently we chatted to Thunderhank, the Americans have recently released their self-titled debut EP and were on hand to introduce themselves. 

1 Who are Thunderhank?

Thunderhank is comprised of brothers Henry and Samuel Bellingham.

2 Favourite gig of which you've played?

Our favourite gig was at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia. The sound was great, the people who worked there were really nice and a bunch of our friends made it out to see us.

3 Who are Thunderhank's biggest inspirations?

We have a LOT of inspirations but recently a couple specific bands have been really been influencing the new material we're working on. Konk, a New York City band from the 80s, have a song called "Your Life" that we've been playing over and over for more than a year now. There's something amazing about a dance tune that's undeniably badass. Also it's just a blast to throw on at a party. Another song that we've been feeling is "Life's a Scream" by A Certain Ratio for all the same reasons. It's cool, confident and a little bit funky. We're hoping that this style of dance music shows up in our own songs. I could go on forever about Grace Jones, Brian Eno and Michael Jackson but those two songs should serve as a good indicator of where we're headed stylistically.

4 Where do you see yourselves in 5 years time?

In 5 years we would like to be playing nighttime sets at festivals. And it would be so much fun to find a great singer to produce a pop record for. Both of those things have been dreams of ours for a long time.

5 What's next for Thunderhank?

The next move for Thunderhank is to release this ep we've been working on and hopefully reach a bigger audience through it.

Huge thanks to Thunderhank for the interview.
