Thundermug

Once billed as ‘the heaviest band in the world’, THUNDERMUG featured Bill Durst on guitar and vocals, Ed Pranskus on drums, Jim Corbett on bass and (except for 'Bill, Jim & Ed') Joe DeAngelis on vocals. Writing very unusual songs with the most intense driving beat of any band of that era they toured Canada and the States during the 70’s. “Africa” was Thundermug’s most successful single from their first album ‘Strikes’. It became a cult favourite in 1973 on the Axe Records label (AXE 4) and in the States on Doug Morris’ independent Big Tree label. Their 2nd Axe album “Orbit” was recorded and released in late 1973 followed by their 3rd Axe album ‘Ta-Daa’ (1974). 'Bill, Jim & Ed' was recorded in 1976.
