Band information

Thumlock was a stoner rock band from Wollongong whose music drew comfortable comparisons with Black Sabbath and Hawkwind. Thumlock formed in 1995, originally as a three piece of Eshman, Lough and Stokes. In 1997 the band issued its first CD "Dripping Silver Heat" but it was the Emerald Liquid Odyssey release with its less melodic, rockier direction which created considerable interest in the band. Iacurto joined the fold shortly before "Lunar Mountain Sunrise" was recorded. Thumlock supported Hawkwind in early 2000 and then released the debut album, which met with some critical acclaim.

Thumlock's status continued to grow with the 'Rockin' Course' single attaining good airplay that was followed up by the fantastic Sojourn Lucid Magic album. A European tour was mooted for the end of 2002, but since then Thumlock seems to have completely vanished.
