THICK
Cutting their teeth in the Brooklyn DIY scene, THICK has solidified itself as a punk powerhouse. Despite playing in fewer basements now, the band maintains the vibrant sense of community that sparked its formation, inviting friends-to-be into their world through honest and introspective lyrics. Release after release, THICK fearlessly presents its members’ most intimate thoughts, experiences, and self-explorations in layered melodies and big hooks.
Almost a year after releasing their second LP Happy Now (2022, Epitaph Records), and a national headline tour, the band returned to writing with new perspectives and an altered configuration ontheir most recent singles.
True to their trademark rawness and appetite for evolution, Nikki Sisti (guitar, vocals) and Kate Black (bass, vocals) worked with producer Will Yip (Turnstile, Menzingers, Mannequin Pussy) and drummer Kaleen Reading to craft their new singles “Doomer,” “Father,” and “Mother.”
