Thunder Queens Announce Debut LP, Strike One, Via Victory Pool Records
Embark on a sonic journey of revelation in motion with Thunder Queens, the London, Ontario-based trio of Violet Bruneel, Lola Hayman, and Clara Magnan. On their debut full-length album, Strike One, Thunder Queens deliver a blend of doom-tinged grunge, onyx-toned punk melodies, and searing multi-part harmonies – all while creating a mesmerizing sound that is uniquely their own. Pre-save Strike One here.
The band is unafraid to be experimental and shapeshift, conjuring the playful vitality of Sheer Mag, ground shaking range of Black Sabbath, and the urgency of The Runaways. Their raw energy and poignant lyricism show a band that’s played together for over half a decade while still being on the cusp of earning a driver’s license. Over 11 tracks, each riff and lyric paint a vivid picture of a world they’re still discovering, from the gauzy bliss of a sun-drenched road trip to the urgency of our fractured political landscape. Thunder Queens fearlessly explores a spectrum of emotions and themes with the unmatched curiosity of youth and solidarity that comes from nurturing a foundation of sisterhood.
Today they share the lead single and video, “Fighter”, a track the band penned at the tender ages of 9 and 10. Tired of hearing all the ways their generation was failing, this song was a proclamation of their dedication to fighting for what they believe in. Now, on the brink of high school, Lola, Violet, and Clara remain just as committed to fighting for a just cause as they did then.
