THUNDER DRIVER

"Zion, Illinois isn't exactly the deep south, but you wouldn't know that after hearing this record from what I can only imagine are Zion's finest sons. Thunder Driver's unflagging allegiance to whiskey, pussy, and southern-fried-speed-rock make 'em sound like Nashville Pussy, only with an AngelWitch back-patch and a fistful of benzos. Play this loud enough and it'll probably impregnate your girlfriend." - Classic Rock Magazine

" Good CD! Lisa & I like track #2 the best!!" - Tom Kief

"Thunderdriver is a total anomaly in a scene that seemed to have a bit of everything... exept this. hard to describe, but what you get here is a totally kick-ass scruffy biker metal band that sounds like a cross between your favorite NWOBHM with one 45 to their name on one hand, and the heaviest Ted Nugent and Blackfoot songs on the other. Drink em' down, shoot em' up raucous rock for when those old SAXON albums wear out." - Martin Popoff - Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles Magazine

"This currently active American power trio slams out some hard-driving in-your-face no-frills Rock n Roll and we are happy to have THUNDER DRIVER on board as part of the massive Retrospect roster. A sound that mixes the attitude of early 80s NWOBHM with KISS-like guitar riffs and the swagger of NASHVILLE PUSSY , I think you need to check out the sound samples!! " - Sam McCaslin - Retrospect Records

"What can you do with real Rock 'N' Roll like this? You could hand wash your Trans-Am. You could hand wash Tawny Kitaen circa 1987. Listening to this (on low) you could beat Tom Cruise with a pool cue in a bar fight. Listening to this with the speakers full blast you could give Superman noogies with your arm around Wonder Woman. Although it doesn't cure cancer, yet, it will give it a good scare. Listening to Thunder Driver will cause an extra testicle to descend, weaponize your toe nails, and make you smell like fresh baked cookies and Jack Daniels. If you don't own it, then get a job, make some money, and with your 1st check buy 2 copies: One to blast in your car and one for the cops that will, although envious, eventually haul you away for random acts of badassery. Plus, it's strong enough for a man but made for a woman. " - Drstrange32 "Ryan"

". THUNDER DRIVER IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST THING TO COME OUT OF LAKE COUNTY. THE DRIVER IS A THREE PEACE BAND THAT SOUND LARGER THAN KISS. BART IS A GUITAR GOD AND HIS VOCAL STYLE WILL HAVE SINGERS ALL OVER THE MAP QUESTIONING THEMSELVES THEY WILL BECOME COMPLETELY INSECURE. THE LYRICS ARE GENIUS. THE BASS DELIVERY IS ENOUGH TO LEAVE MY JEANS STICKING TO MY LEG "THANKS SCOTT" I DONT THINK I NEED TO SAY MORE IF THAT DOESNT PAINT THE PICTURE SORRY YOU ARE A RETARD. AND DRIVING IT ALL HOME IS THE GUY THAT PUTS DRIVER INTO THUNDER DRIVER. HE HAS AN IN YOUR FACE DRUM STYLE AND ATTITUDE THAT IS MIKE KLINGENBURG. THANKS GUYS EVERY TIME MY HEAD NEEDS TO BE MOLESTED I THROW ON THE DRIVER LATELY ITS BEEN THE ATOMIC ROCK CD WHICH I SHOULD ADD IS FUC@ING AWESOME. KEEP UP WITH WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING IT IS MOST TRIUMPHANT YOU GUYS HAVE WHAT ALL THE OTHER NORTHERN ILLINOIS BANDS WISH THEY COULD GET JUST A FRAGMENT OF. ITS CALLED RAWRAWTTALENT" - Jesse Ferrari

" With a sound that is the bastard child of Motorhead and storytelling that mirrors that of bands like Blue Oyster Cult or early eighties Saxon the Driver thunder along the land crushing most everything in their way. Theirs is a sound of traditional metal / hard rock with a spot of southern vibe thrown in for good measure, sporting two lead singers that trade off handling lead vocals from song to song with tales of hard rocking adventures of days of yore.

" this Zion three-piece knows writing memorable songs is more important than guitar wanking and screaming." - Joseph Simek - Illinois Entertainer
