THUNDER’S LEGENDARY LIVE ALBUM IS BACK + AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON VINYL AND DIGITAL

LIVE IS OUT NOW — LISTEN

British rock heavyweights THUNDER are back in the spotlight, dusting off their classic 1998 live album and giving it the kind of remaster that makes you wonder how the original ever survived without it. The record lands today as a Deluxe Limited 4LP Gatefold Vinyl, Limited 3CD Digipak, and digital.

The recordings go back to 1997, a time when THUNDER were riding a fresh wave of energy. LIVE captured them in full attack mode, all big riffs, bluesy swagger, and Danny Bowes doing what Danny Bowes does — belting it out like the walls might fall in. Luke Morley‘s guitar work and songwriting are all over it too, reminding you why the band carved out such a loyal following in the first place. The new re-master sharpens everything up without sanding off the grit that made the album such a favorite among long timers.

THUNDER have been doing this since the late ’80s, and they’ve always had that knack for mixing classic British rock muscle with huge, arms-in-the-air choruses. LIVE shows that side of them perfectly. It’s powerful but never cold, polished but still loose enough to feel like you’re right there in the room.

The 2025 re-master keeps the spirit intact while giving the whole thing more punch and space. earMUSIC has handled the release, treating it as both a nod to a key chapter in the band’s story and a chance for new listeners to get a taste of what THUNDER can do when the amps are cooking.

The band have also dropped a fresh clip of their performance for “Love Walked In” on the earMUSIC YouTube channel today, which you can watch HERE.

With 31 tracks, the album is bursting with fan-favourite anthems, from “Love Walked In” to “Dirty Love” or “Backstreet Symphony.” And it doesn’t stop there. The bonus material digs even deeper, serving up acoustic gems and rare studio cuts that spotlight THUNDERs versatility far beyond their signature, full-throttle rock sound.

THUNDER – LIVE is out now on CD, vinyl, and across all digital platforms  HERE.
