PRESS NUGGETS

“We’ve got a mighty, mighty good show for you. I’d even go so far as to say it’s our best show of new Chicago music so far this year. I kid you not. Topping the list is The Thons. There’s a guitar solo on one of these tracks that is the least cliched, least hackneyed series of notes I’ve heard in quite a spell.”
~ Richard Milne, WXRT’s Local Anesthetic

“The Thons are guys from Chicago playing like the British guys who didn’t give a damn about the blues. This is all out Buzzcock-y, even making one or two Joy Diversions here and there. I’m Thon-derstruck!”
~ Jake, Roctober Magazine

“This band kinda remind me of The Thermals, if they were actually The Intelligence. Which means they are so so rad. Slightly unhinged, slightly relentless, totally addictive.”
~ Brendan, Sonic Masala

“The catchy hooks never come up short. The straightforward but powerful production – everything was recorded in one day – this fits like ass on bucket.”
~ 12XU

“The Thons offers straight ahead pop rock that crackles and shines in its exhilaration, marking a group who have only just begun to find their voice and develop it into a unit truly worth watching.”
~ Kriss, Notes and Bolts

“The Thons play a garage rock-blues bastardized by post and proto-punk influences and they do it with sincerity and passion that is jaw-dropping.”
~ Leonardo, Loud Notes

“Both albums have an old-fashioned garage rock sound with a splash of surf rock with a vintage rockabilly flair.”
~ Rachel, The Logansquarist
