Biography

There are three bands called Thumper.

1) The first came straight from Somerville, Boston’s blandest suburb, Thumper erupted with a maniacal mix of ska, metal, and punk. Formed in 1991, the band spent the last decade of the 20th century spreading its gospel of chaos through live appearances and recorded material. Thumper, not satisfied with the normal, consistently hammered audience members throughout the country with their unique songs, taking on such subjects as joblessness, mass murder, the force, bad love, ignorance, space aliens, and television. And managing to sell over 20,000 records doing so. Yes. Boston’s bastard children of ska, Thumper was the musical equivalent of a steel cage death match between Judas Priest and The Specials.

2) The most current incarnation is a San Francisco based funk/rock/hip hop act formed in 2008. The debut EP, “Thumplife”, contains 5 songs that show the diversity and influence of the band. Starting with the song “Don’t Expect” to the closing track “Girlfriend” the band shows their range from metal to funk with hip hop and electronic music thrown in the mix.

3) Thumper is also the alias of Casey Sumpter, a video game music remixer from the OverClocked ReMix community.

    Unless Niel Diamond grows a vagina and becomes a lesbian you most likely will not see it on Holly's play list. That and he has to start playing really bad music.

    Oh holly, why are you so angry? Go and listen to Lisa Loeb, Melissa Etheridge, Ingrid Michaelson, Sarah McLachlin, Joan Osborne, Natalie Imbruglia... They love you and will never hurt your feelings. Sweet and cheery music that makes you happy and dance around with your strawberry wine. Love is every where. By the way, I FUCKED YOUR GIRLFRIEND LAST NIGHT!

    Why have so many sucky bands attached themselves to this name? Seriously. Someone should write a Congressman or something. That being said the boston ska band Thumper? Best. Band. Ever. And anyone who calls themselves "funk/rock/hip hop" needs a serious beating.

    I agree with suprasensual, my band is named Thumper too and i can't decide if we should try appending a suffix to our artist metadata to differentiate our scrobbles or if the faux-name change would be too confusing for folks.
