Thundermug - Orbit (1973)

Thundermug were a quirky hard rock band from Ontario who released a handful of albums in the early 70's before splitting in 1976. Their sole charting single, "Africa", came early in 1972 and the band spent the remainder of their career trying to match its success. It's quite surprising that they didn't, because much of the material was strong and very unique. With pitch-perfect vocals, powerful guitars and a vacuum tight rhythm section, Thundermug were an incredibly distinct sounding band. As it often happens, the band has found more accolades in the years since their initial breakup than they ever did during their brief career. The band did manage to reunite in the late 80's and release two more albums before calling it quits for good.

Their albums are difficult to locate and with just a few short pages in the Canadian history books, Thundermug has seemingly become a mere blip on the radar. In an effort to fix that problem, I'm posting this clean vinyl rip of their 2nd album, "Orbit". Fans of hard rock, glam and power pop should eat this one up. This is fabulous stuff. Enjoy!
