Release Date 16th January 2026
Thunder - A staple of the British rock scene since the late '80s, and renowned for their soulful riffs, commanding vocals, and dynamic stage presence. With frontman Danny Bowes and guitarist Luke Morley at the helm, the band built their legacy on the back of passionate songwriting and explosive live shows. Live (1998) captures Thunder in a pivotal moment—gritty, urgent, and completely unfiltered. Recorded during a period of renewal following the arrival of new bassist Chris Childs, this live album showcases the band’s raw determination and musical firepower. It’s not a polished, pristine live record—and that’s exactly why it endures. There's an edge to every note, a hunger in every chorus. Fans are right there in the thick of it, singing along, cheering through extended solos and spontaneous stage banter that add an electric sense of immediacy. This release draws heavily from the band’s first four studio albums and includes timeless fan favorites like “Love Walked In,” “Backstreet Symphony,” and “Dirty Love.” What sets Live (1998) apart is its ability to capture Thunder’s essence as a live act: passionate, loud and unapologetically rock and roll. Now, for the first time ever, Live (1998) will become available as a stunning 3LP or ltd. 4LP Gatefold - presented alongside a stunning 2CD or ltd. 3CD Digipak edition, as well as Digital Download and Streaming—featuring remastered audio for 2025. Thunder – Live will be available via earMUSIC on January 16th, 2026.
