Introducing: Then Thickens

• 17th Feb 2014

What’s the next logical step for a musician who’s been in one of the most intense and, for those of a nervous disposition, frightening, masked UK rock bands on the underground scene? Well if you’re KONG’s Jon-Lee Martin you start a pop-edged lofi alt-rock band.

Recently joining stablemates Nine Black Alps as the latest addition to Leeds-based Hatch Records (ex-Brew Records), Chorley-based six piece Then Thickens are Martin’s new project and have announced that they will be releasing their debut album ‘Death Cap At Anglezarke’ on 5th May.

The band have already revealed the first song taken from the album ‘Restart Your Heart’, which was was accompanied by an authentically retro VHS filmed video inspired by Celebrity Squares:

The new project also includes former Rolo Tomassi member Joseph Thorpe on bass, and the sextet will be hitting the road hard in 2014 with some exciting tour support dates and festival appearances soon to be announced – eyes peeled for updates.

‘Death Cap At Anglezarke’ is scheduled for release 5th May 2014 via Hatch Records.

UK Live Dates:

13/3/14 Night & Day, Manchester (headline show)
03/5/14 Live At Leeds, Leeds
