They’ve been championed by RAPAL on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal, Roddy Hart on BBC Radio Scotland, Phoebe Inglis-Holmes on BBC Introducing, Jim Gellatly via Amazing Radio as well as publications such as The Skinny, SNACK Magazine, Alive & Amplified and The Music Mag.
Live, the band have kept busy, with slots at Knockengorroch, Kelburn Garden Party, The Meadow’s Festival and King Tut’s. On Friday, Thundermoon play Edinburgh’s St James Centre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, with a launch party at Leith FAB Cricket Club on 16 November for their EP We Can Do Better Than This, also released via New Teeth on 8 November.
