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 caliber set by their arena-rock predecessors, infused with elements of heavy metal, pop punk, and rock opera.
Fall of 2021 would see the release of the 1st single HOW WE ROLL, immediately garnering a worldwide audience. 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, Canada, Mexico and South America supporting major acts such as Airbourne, U.D.O, Enforcer and more.
During their most recent Europe Tour in May 2024 the latest single “Get ‘Em Counted” was released quickly amassing over 230K views on YouTube, as the band currently works on their sophomore album.
