Full details below.Thomas Function formed in 2006 in Huntsville, Alabama. Since its inception the band has released a few 7" singles on various indie labels (via Tic Tac Tally, Dusty Medical, Fat Possum) and its full-length debut, Celebration (via Alive Recordings). Add to that it's boisterous and wonderfully engaging live show and frequent touring, the band began to win over music lovers the world over.
Dusted Magazine says of the band's music, "Supremely hummable, lodged-in-the-brain melodies join with crisp jangly guitars and bouncy rhythms to create some of the finest pop-rock coming out today." Time Out New York also said of the band, "The quartet openly flirts with an array of genres-garage, country, old rock & roll-but the driving force seems to be tasteful '70s punk from both sides of the Atlantic. On "A Long Walk," the group throws guitar daggers familiarized by Television; "Snake in the Grass" has a bratty anthemic bounce akin to the Buzzcocks."
