true sons of thunder - spoonful of seedy dudes

An elusive gang of misanthropic, beer-swilling noise mongering garage punks, The True Sons of Thunder are one of Memphis’s best-kept secrets. 


Equal parts supergroup and secret society, the band is made up of guys who've been in  quite a few other bands... Joe Simpson (Rat Traps, Sharp Balloons), Eric Friedl (Oblivians, Goner Records), Abe White (Oscars, Manatees), Richard Martin (Four Johns), and Sambeaux (Mangina). 


Not since the BAD TIMES or 68 COMEBACK has there been such a meeting of the garage rock minds....


TRUE SONS OF THUNDER are an anarchic mess of heavy garage slop and deep-fried sludge that just may destroy rock n roll altogether, but in such an infectious way, none of us will care.....


and after gigging here and there for awhile, somebody finally shoved them in a studio with some alcohol, so we could all experience the mayhem that Memphis has kept to itself.......

so click here to grab 
the SPOONFUL OF SEEDY DUDES lp......
  out now on JETH-ROW records.......

  and go to GONER FEST this fall.....
likely the only time you'll get the chance to see THE TRUE SONS OF THUNDER in person.......

watch the chaos of their live show below...
            and pretend you were there...
