“I have seen these fanatical punk thrashers numerous times before, and writing reviews about them is always fun, because there are some [sic] many memorable moments during their performances... like a dog in the mosh pit.” Robbie Stevens - Rock and Metal TempleYou walk in the door, and immediately the smell of sweat, blood, and angst corrodes your senses. Pushing closer to the stage you feel the tension building, coming over you like a wave of apathetic resistence. Wolves as children thrash before the aural onslaught, in bloodthirsty conquest, breaking their bodies in violent tribute to the sensory revolution unfolding before their very eyes. In the midst of the chaos, Sonoma County thrashers THOUGHT VOMiT stand in the forefront, flying the black flag of resistance in step with the malcontents of the world.After completion of THOUGHT VOMiT's self-financed Makes No Cents tour in April 2016, the band has been hard at work on their 4th self-produced studio album, Punks Brutal Retaliation/Sync The Skies, set to release in October 2016. As per their"genre-bending" reputation, THOUGHT VOMiT again defiles genre norms, contorting the spectrum of sound to their will in a nihilistic cyberpunk narrative on privilege, classism, police brutality, and the future dystopia of a technological singularity.Before unleashing their fire upon the stage, THOUGHT VOMiT coalesced from the vibrant, virulent and sometimes violent, punk and metal scenes of Sonoma County. In 2006 TV singer Spencer Clark and bassist Jordan Hilley formed the short lived street punk outfit First Class F***ups. In 2007, soon after dismantling FCFU, Clark started playing bass with drummer Dan Barr, guitarist Tyler Cole, and singer Bryce Youngberg. This lineup would become the beginnings of THOUGHT VOMiT. Soon after formation though, Youngberg left the band on good terms in pursuit of personal interests. After recruiting former bandmate Hilley on bass, and Chris Meyer as a second guitarist, THOUGHT VOMiT was complete.Later in 2007, the band continued on to release their self titled debut album, a self-produced sarcastic snot rocket aimed at the facade of good taste, a different kind of class war. After garnering local momentum, the band was able to produce their 2011 sophomore release, Couchlocked, steering into a darker narrative of a life of delusional excess and the starvation of the creative spirit. They also chose to bring in engineering assistance from Brian Daniels, former drummer/engineer of Grass Valley's Skinhammer. The release of Couchlocked brought moderate success to the band, establishing their reach beyond the local clubs, notably Burnt Ramen in Richmond, CA, The Hazmat in Oakland, and the historic Whisky-A-Go-Go in Hollywood.After frequent gigs to support their musical efforts, drummer Dan Barr left the band to focus on personal and professional matters, with long time friend and Sticky Eyelids drummer Clayton Prieto coming in to pick up the sticks. After a short hiatus and reformation, THOUGHT VOMiT came back swinging in 2015 with the 3rd full length release, Can't Understand Normal Thinking. Returning to the DIY ethic, Meyer and Hilley teamed up to engineer the release themselves. The music reflects the bands intention to make their mark on the musical world, once again twisting and reshaping the senses with their classic punk and metal flux, complimented by a more sophisticated and subtle style of songwriting. In conjunction with the release, TV teamed up with local media mastermind Gary Ottonello to record, edit, and direct accompanying music videos for the albums singles, 'Wreck Shop' and 'Trip Into Death'The new-found flame inside drove the band to push harder than ever before, and the tireless networking of Spencer Clark earned the support of promoters such as Sonoma County Metal and Hardcore, and regional chapters of the Pyrate Punx, allowing THOUGHT VOMiT to share the stage with national and international touring bands such as DRI, Angry Samoans, The Dwarves, Prong, and Soulfly.In the summer of 2015, during planning of their first tour, guitarist Tyler Cole took leave of the band, pursuing higher education, yet always maintaining contact and contributing creatively to the project. Unwavered, Hilley, Meyer, Prieto, and Clark pushed forward with the tour, scattering their message of blissful dischord from Wine Country to the Puget Sound.The band's highly anticipated October 2016 release Punk's Brutal Retaliation/Sync The Skies will mark four full length albums, with Hilley and Meyer continuing to refine their mixing craft and bolstering the DIY ethic that has become integral to their sound. Setting the bar for future projects, their latest album marks a return to the stripped down aggression of their earlier work, while still retaining the seamless chemistry and musicianship that shapes their performances both live and in the studio.Their passion for music is expressed far beyond the stage; you can expect to see the guys in the pit supporting the other bands at their shows, never forgetting that they are the fans as well. One finds it easy to be lost in the chaos that ensues at a THOUGHT VOMiT concert, this is where the band feels at home. The stink of sweat and stale alchohol mingles with traces of cigarette smoke and the burnt plastic smell of hot speakers, from the stage the fans resemble guerrillas in the mist, downtrodden and discontent, thirsty for retribution, soaking it in the only way they know how. THOUGHT VOMiT is more than a band, it is a refuge for the worlds unwanted, and a beacon of hope that cuts through an often dark and cruel world, a reminder to never surrender, to"never give in to the seemingly overwhelming might of the enemy."
