Special Thumbs is an OKC-based indie band melodically exploring rock, psych, and pop. Their music features lush vocal harmonies, sensatiable guitar riffs, and multi-textured synths that weave a unique and colorful aural tapestry. 

Starting as a three-piece outfit, members of Special Thumbs met at university and bonded over a love of classic rock. They began writing songs influenced by bands like The Velvet Underground and The Kinks, as well as modern artists such as Tame Impala and MGMT. In 2014, after adding a fourth member and playing around OKC's arts districts, Special Thumbs found a local following and subsequently began work on POLLEN in their home studio. Throughout the recording process Special Thumbs became a two-man project (Pablo Tortoise and Chiefy Roon) and enlisted the help of mixer/producer/wizard Michael Trepagnier to complete their debut EP - POLLEN (Released 10/14/2016).  Since releasing POLLEN, Special Thumbs (with newly added members Jared Fatkin and Ryan McGuire) has been actively gigging around Oklahoma and recently released a new two-song digital release entitled ADVICE!

The Middle of Nowhere is the brainchild of Nathan Poppe and his NewsOK blog. Also, it's a depository of everything that makes the Midwest unique. The coasts have a massive amount of influence on the country, but everything winds up funneling its way to the middle. That's where we come in. We're here to feature exclusive track debuts from artists living in the Midwest.
