After stirring things up at Dublin’s Extinction Rebellion last month, Thumper are back with a new single.
“(You’re Bring Me) Down” is a love song”, said lead singer Oisin.
“It takes place in the afterglow of an argument. The tension in the song mounts as the narrator struggles to remember which side of the argument he’s on. As the guitars rise the words become more ambiguous to the point of incoherence.’’

Thumper return to London later this month following the success of their UK tour.
Championed by Louise McSharry, Ed Smith, Kate Brennan Harding, and Dan Hegarty in Ireland and with mainstream support across UK radio from Steve Lamaq at BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing Across the Line, Kerrang! Radio and Amazing Radio, it’s no wonder Thumper are constantly topping the ‘Ones To Watch’ lists and selling out shows constantly.
2019 has been insane for the band, with prime slots across massive festivals all summer long including Barcelona’s Primavera, Body & Soul, Kaleidoscope, and Electric Picnic, followed by a sold out UK tour. They are preparing for their headline show in The Grand Social, Dublin and loads more international dates secured across the Uk and Europe.
From being the highlight of Ireland Music Week with their mosh pit showcase in The Workmans Club, Dublin to shooting a documentary for RTE on sustainability, these eco friendly rockers are stunning live.
