THUMPERS are comprised of long time friends Marcus Pepperell and John Hamson Jr. - their colourful, exuberant alt-pop celebrates their innate musical kinship and shared memories from their childhood.
Based in London, the duo decamp to their Warwickshire hometown to write and produce all of their music where, true to the band’s tight-knitted collaborative vision, additional vocals are provided by Pepperell's sisters. These lush harmonies are interwoven with astral synths and emphatic rhythms to create their heady blend of modern pop.
Though Pepperell (vocals, guitar, keys) and Hamson Jr. (drums, vocals, bass) produce the majority of their music themselves, they have recently worked with David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Everything Everything) who lends additional production and his mix skills to the single ‘Unkinder (A Tougher Love)’.
Live, they are augmented by an interchanging cast of friends and musicians in faithfully bringing their immersive dynamics and grand-scale sonic vision to the stage. The ensemble cast have recorded a Radio 1 Maida Vale session for Huw Stephens and performed a stripped-back session for Lauren Laverne's 6Music show in June.
