Let's the get weekend started in raucous style with The Loser, the latest single from crowd surfing, musical equipment destroyers Thumper.

It's the first single form forthcoming third EP 'Pop! Goes The Weasel' out on Little L Records in April. It contains all you love from Thumper as we know. Check the wild distortion, the catchy as hell verus/chrous format and the unabashed adrenaline that characterizes Thumper's previous releases.

Lyrically The Loser is a tale of dealing with anxiety and neurosis that Thumper frontman Oisin Leahy Furlong previously spoke about to GoldenPlec during our 2017 Plec Pick series.

His bout of writers block didn't help that state of mind and lyrics on The Loser such as "I can't relate / To half my songs / Who gives a lonesome fuck?" recall that period of self doubt.

The current vein of writing is confronting those issues head on. Thumper's devil may care attitude makes for compelling listening.
