Thunderheist

The duo dubbed Thunderheist unleashes serious electrocrunk boom bap. Ribcage-rattling bass breaks laced with proper rhyming are mixed with digital booty bass, '80s-inspired electronic pop, and slowed-down southern bounce, all freshly dipped in serious swagger. Dance floors get loose when Thunderheist reigns. Tunes like "Bubblegum,” “Suenos Dulces” and “Jerkitttt” get bodies bumping. Music blogs light up with postings the moment they drop a new tune. DJs from all over the world drop them in the mix. Press has come knocking, based on the smiling, sweaty faces coming out of a Thunderheist jam. Audiences for live shows keep growing as word spreads. And it all started with an accidental MP3 upload: through the music grapevine, Grahmzilla was feeling Isis' rhyming, Isis was feeling 'Zilla's productions. Exchanging files online, Grahm accidentally sent Isis an electro track he was working on. She flipped it with her raw rap narratives and threw in some afropunk attitude, and they knew they had something special. Since then, the duo have commandeered stages and left dance floors sweaty all over North America. Their debut show in Montreal in the fall of 2006 was the stuff of legend. It's been a steady build ever since, with more and more people packing out their live shows, writing up and snatching their demo songs posted on blogs all around the world, and visiting their website incessantly. The Montreal Mirror touted them as "2007 Noisemaker" and Eye Magazine placed them on the cover without even an officially released EP or single. MySpace made Thunderheist a “Featured Artist” based solely on their incredible 2007 NXNE performance. And the duo has no intention of slowing down one bit, hitting the studio to work on their debut album Neon Angels.
