Thundermother has added its name to the ranks of bands releasing new music in early 2027.
The band announced Friday through a news release, it will drop its new album, Mothers of Thunder, Feb. 5 via Napalm Records. In anticipation of the album’s release, the band is giving audiences a preview of the record in the form of the new single, ‘Bimbo Boost’ and the song’s companion video.
The song’s musical arrangement is a straight forward presentation that everyone has come to expect from Thunder Mother what with its straight forward guitar rock approach. The AC/DC comparison is once again on full display, with the song still maintaining its own identity. According to information in the provided news release, the guitar riff at the song’s heart is actually that of Deep Purple’s timeless song, ‘Smoke on the Water,’ just played in reverse.
Lyrically, the song is hard hitting, making fun of all the fake women out there and the culture that has led to the belief that women are supposed to be a certain way.
The band commented on that obvious theme with a collective statement.
”It’s damn hard being a woman.” the statement reads. “We have to do our makeup, straighten our hair, reverse aging, and always look our best. It’s exhausting. We wish we had a magic guitar booster pedal that instantly did all of that for us! We love making fun music videos, and this time we went bananas!”
That commentary is enhanced through the song’s video, which clearly pokes fun at the classic video for Robert Palmer’s single, ‘Addicted to Love.’ It presents the band in those familiar tight dresses with fake blond wigs while making jokes about that noted view of how women are supposed to look and act even on stage.
