A highlight on the night is sure to be found inthe form of latest single 'Down'. In our own words upon the single's release at the end of September;
"THUMPER will always be a nailed on favourite for fans of anarchic pop-punk who enjoy a mouthful of dirt with their distortion. On latest single '(You're Bringing Me) Down' they stay true to their school, but also shed a small amount of the overt fuzz that covered previous releases, I liked how vocals were barely audible on some tracks in the past, but I'm enjoying the shift in style on this single very very much. Sound-wise I think of elements of the sadly forgotten mid-90's London rock act Symposium's One Day at a Time album, and also Placebo who I've been revisiting recently. For proper gratification listen to the extended version of the single, THUMPER at their most aurally blissful."
One of the biggest buzzes at Hard Working Class Heroes was THUMPER, a noise-pop quintet from Dublin, delivering bubblegum pop through a wall of sonic death.
With a reputation for raucous and frenzied live shows, and penchant for howling feedback and pounding rhythm, each show is an exercise in unpredictability.
2017 and 2018 have seen THUMPER top several Ones To Watch lists and tour relentlessly - headlining Hard Working Class Heroes & Whelans Ones To Watch Fest, as well as joining Fangclub on a national tour and playing festivals across Ireland all summer long.
