History
Formed in 2008, and taking their name from the term for the 'rumbling of distant thunder', the band comprised former I Was a Cub Scout drummer William Bowerman, bass guitarist Nathan Fairweather, and guitarist Tim Hancock. [2] [3] Bowerman also drummed with La Roux and Summer Camp during his time in the band. [2] [4] The band's first release was "Bob Munden" on the Holy Monsters EP, a split release with Holy Ghost, The Tupolev Ghost, and Shapes.
The band's debut album, Sans Souci, was released in 2011, and was well-received by critics. [5] [6]
Fairweather joined Rolo Tomassi in 2012, while remaining a member of Brontide. [2]
Brontide's second album Artery was released in 2014. Mike Diver, reviewing the album for Clash , described the album as "wholly bracing, carefully nuanced". [7] [8] DIY gave it three stars, with Nathan Roberts calling it "both inherently melodic and genre-spanning". [9]
Bowerman joined Dua Lipa's band, and Hancock began recording as Mirror Manor. [2] [10] With the band members' other commitments limiting the time they could devote to the band, they announced that they had split up in April 2017. [2]
In August 2024, the band published on their official Instagram account, that they had reformed, and are recording new material. [1]
The band's music is described as math rock, progressive rock, post-rock and post-hardcore, with critics drawing comparisons with Battles and Russian Circles. [2] [5] [7] [10]
