Independent music ensnared within the great wall of Arkansas.

New Jersey native Will Georgantas has been performing and recording as Thunderegg since the mid-nineties, laying down critically acclaimed, often lo-fi rock that has been compared to Guided by Voices, the Velvet Underground, and Paul Westerberg. After the 2006 release of Thunderegg's incredible 231-song compilation "Open Book," the New Haven Advocate wrote, "Georgantas’s melodies sound effortlessly executed, like he simply exhales . . . unusually catchy and inviting tidbits." The prolific Egg's 17th album, the full-band "C'mon Thunder," comes out May 13 and is the band's second collaboration with producer Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse). Will moved to San Francisco in January 2012 after fifteen years in Brooklyn. There's tons more stuff at www.thunderegg.org.
