About Me |
|
| Influenced by Mudhoney, Motorhead, AC/DC and Black Sabbath -- THINNING THE HERD set out and produce a hybrid metal/punk/psychedelic infusion. The band’s sound has been likened to the MC5, Iggy Pop and The Stooges and The Velvet Underground by Guitar Player Magazine’s “Myspace Hordes” column, which “spotlight(s) thrilling guitar talents,” 12/07, noting their song 'Kitchen Sink'....'rocks so hard'.
THINNING THE HERD (TTH) is dedicated to producing the finest original rock. Layout by CoolChaser |
