Play 90 second soundbite of 'Ready To Move' @ 'CD quality'

Try to genre pigeonhole The Thirst and you'll struggle. Influenced by whatever the individual members were subjected to as kids, an eclectic of just about every musical nuance and ethnic persuasion you could imagine, The Thirst sit squarely in pop no-mans-land genre-wise! And that's the beauty of it all - this is fresh, cool, unpredictable but as commercial as hell!

Discovered and championed by none other than Ronnie Wood (yes, he of Rolling Stones fame and fortune!), The Thirst are now comin' at yer with this stunning, probably prophetically titled, album, 'On The Brink'. A coming together of musical styles the like of which you'll not find every day! Classy and exciting, 'On The Brink' is vibrant, energetic and massively compelling. 'On The Brink' doesn't let you sit still for more than a few seconds, it won't allow you time to think or do anything - you'll be totally carried away in the incredibly varied musicality of this sensational offering.

This four-piece definitely know how to collaborate to come up with songs that defy classification other than saying they're totally commercially viable and full of pop-tastic potential. The Thirst run just about the full gamut of pop oriented styles here and make it all sound so natural and not at all contrived - from punk to ska, rock to pure pop, from anthemic chords to danceable grooves and just about everywhere in-between, The Thirst are full of surprises and rammed with talent.

Hard gigging, prolific writers and hungry for success, The Thirst have built up a massive following and lofty reputation in and around London. Now you'll all be able to sample the heady delights of The Thirst in the form of this incredibly kick-ass album of varied but classy songs - 'On The Brink' could quite easily become a modern classic! Listening to 'On The Brink' by The Thirst I'm reminded of the buzz that came along with The Specials and The Beat and the feeling of optimism for new things brought about at the start of the punk generation. The Thirst aren't actually like any of those bands or artists - they are quite simply The Thirst - pop innovators in their own right - so, just sit back and enjoy the energy, marvel at the power, thrill at the honesty of The Thirst - and this surely is only the start!!
