Former Thunder and Winterville men produce the album of their careers.
The Union brings together two outstanding talents in British rock, and their debut album is suitably impressive. Featuring former Thunder guitarist Luke Morley and ex-Winterville frontman Peter Shoulder, it’s a collaboration which benefits from a perfect pairing of youth and experience and, of course, the skills of two genuinely gifted songwriters. But anyone hoping for a new Thunder album – or even a new Winterville one, come to that – can think again.
Although based around a brand of bluesy hard rock which fans of both men will instantly recognise, The Union is more varied than anything previously recorded by either musician. It’s a true collaboration, not merely two guys parachuting in with half a dozen pre-penned numbers at the eleventh hour. Creatively unshackled from former expectations, these are songs going where the wild winds blow, exploring ideas that have lain dormant, awaiting their moment.
