Formed in 2020 by multi-JUNO-nominated musicians JJ Tartaglia and Jonny Nesta (also known for their work in Skull Fist), THUNDEROR delivers hook-driven anthems to the calibre set by their arena-rock predecessors, infused with elements of heavy metal, pop punk, and rock opera.
The debut album FIRE IT UP was released in February 2022, charting at #1 on Earshot’s National Loud Chart in Canada. The band has already toured throughout Europe many times, Canada, Mexico and South America supporting major acts such as Airbourne, U.D.O., Enforcer and more. In May 2024, the latest single, “Get ‘Em Counted,” was released quickly, amassing over 230K views on YouTube, as the band prepares to release their sophomore album.
