BAND BIO
ThunderHorse was formed by San Jose natives Pete Rice and Justin Estep. Pete and Justin met in high school back in 1992 and played together in the ska/punk band The Janitors Against Apartheid. After the Janitors broke up, they both pursued a career in electronic music and occasionally teamed up to bang out tracks. Frustrated with the lack of a rock/metal scene in San Jose, they returned to their instruments of choice in 2000. Both created names for themselves in the local music scene by playing in bands such as: American Avenue, Highcyde, A Life in Vain and If Time Fails. As fate had it, they both ended up at the same practice facility and started collaborating in February of 2007. Always having been fascinated with medieval times they decided to make that the band's theme and settled on the name ThunderHorse. Missing that final component of low-end they found Manell "Ian" Menor in July of 2007 on craigslist. Ian's thunderous bass playing compliments Justin's loud, machine like drumming. Together, they round out the ThunderHorse sound. Gary “80” Velasco, the newest member of ThunderHorse will be adding to the stampede, bringing back that duel guitar sound we all know and love. The combination of Pete’s crunchy rhythm and Gary’s triumphant leads bring the thunder to the horse. Taking from all their musical influences ThunderHorse has managed to invent a style of their own, creating a style of metal that will stand out in any crowd. Ian and Pete will also be sharing vocal duties now at shows. Stay tuned for studio versions in the near future!

10/2-10/3 shows and LA this sat!
This weekends flurry of shows was pretty awesome. Had a chance to play in our hometown this last friday. We haven't played in San Jose for awhile, so it was awesome to play for our friends and family. Plus we hadn't played for a whole month because of recording so we were itchin to melt faces! Saturday's show with ZOC was ultimate chaos as usual.....getting fucked up and blastin ear drums! Our buddy Dill came out to represent so it was awesome seeing him again. We got a killer show lined up this saturday in LA-LA land. We are playing with Metal Blade recording artist RAVAGE from Boston. They seriously kick-ass so you defintely want to make it out to this show. Plus we are playing with some killer LA thrash bands.
