Thunder Announce New Album 'Please Remain Seated' And February UK Tour With Dan Reed
Friday, 19 October 2018
Written by Jon Stickler
Thunder have announced the release of a new LP and accompanying tour dates for early 2019.
In celebration of their 30th anniversary, the veteran rock band will put out 'Please Remain Seated', a collection of reinterpreted songs from throughout their career, on January 18 through their new label BMG.
Thunder describe the record as, "an exploration into our own music," with the sessions inspired by their re-reimagined version of Love Walked In in 2017. Vocalist Danny Bowes said:
"We’ve never been the kind of band that wanted to make the same album over and over, and we’ve never been scared to try new things.
"In fact, making Thunder music over the past 30 years has taught us that the more we challenge ourselves, the better we get.
"Having re-imagined and re-recorded Love Walked In in 2017, we were very stimulated by the process, and wanted to try it on other songs. We made it as live as possible, jamming ideas until we found an arrangement that felt good.
"We set ourselves three rules: work fast, don’t aim for perfection, and make it different to the original."
The band will support the follow up to last year's 'Rip It Up' with February tour dates, including stops in Ipswich, Manchester, York, Gateshead, Nottingham, Bath and Birmingham. The shows will feature a mix of 'Please Remain Seated' tunes alongside other fan favourites, while support will come from Dan Reed, who will be performing an acoustic set.
