Thunderdikk

Thunderdikk is a hard rock band from Los Angeles, California formed in 2007.

Biography

edit

Thunderdikk is fronted by lead singer, Dikk Thunder. According to Dikk, the band was formed "so people can let loose, dance and get crazy. When I called the other guys and told them the band was called Thunderdikk and the songs were about girls, partying and rock and roll, they jumped on it."[1] The band claims Guns N' Roses and AC/DC as major influences.[2]

In reviewing their 2008 debut EP, Rock Out With Your Dikk Out, Classic Rock Magazine called Thunderdikk "clearly the greatest rock band to emerge from LA since Van Halen," calling their "super sonic cock'n'roll equal parts Buckcherry and Ron Jeremy." Sleazegrinder (May 2009). "Round-Up: Sleaze". Classic Rock. 131: 79.
