Thunder

Thunder are an English hard rock band from London. Formed in 1989, the group was founded by former Terraplane members Danny Bowes (vocals), Luke Morley (guitar) and Gary “Harry” James (drums), along with second guitarist/keyboardist Ben Matthews and bassist Mark “Snake” Luckhurst. Originally signed to EMI Records in the UK, the band released their debut album Backstreet Symphony in 1990, which reached No. 21 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 114 on the US Billboard 200. Their 1992 follow‑up, Laughing on Judgement Day, reached No. 2 in the UK, and both albums were certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). All nine singles released from these two albums entered the UK Singles Chart Top 40. Luckhurst left the band in late 1992 and was replaced in February 1993 by former Great King Rat bassist Mikael Höglund. This lineup recorded only one studio album, Behind Closed Doors, which peaked at No. 5 in the UK and produced three UK Top 40 singles. The 1995 compilation Their Finest Hour (And a Bit) reached No. 22 in the UK and was certified silver by the BPI. Höglund departed in 1996 and was replaced by Chris Childs, after Morley handled bass duties on the band’s fourth album, The Thrill of It All, which reached the UK Top 20. Thunder’s 1998 live album Live reached No. 35 on the UK Albums Chart, while their fifth studio album, Giving the Game Away (1999), reached No. 49. The band disbanded in early 2000 due to “outside business forces.”
