'Thunder Up' is the fifth and final studio album by English post-punk band The Sound, released in 1987 on Belgian record label Play It Again Sam. Two singles were released from the album: 'Hand of Love' and 'Iron Years'. The album and its subsequent tour precipitated the band's breakup in early 1988. Read more on Last.fm.
The Sound formed in South London in 1979, shortly after a band called The Outsiders dissolved. It isn't a very well-distributed fact, but the Outsiders' 1977 LP Calling on Youth was the first self-released British punk LP, issued roughly four months after Buzzcocks' infamous Spiral Scratch 7". Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Adrian Borland led the Outsiders through a couple of other releases, but the band sputtered out three years after their 1976 formation. Read more on Last.fm
