about

Writing Something About This Place was an acceptance of things past, a letting go, que sera, sera ‘what will be, will be’ and all that. ‘Perhaps we’re still grasping. There’s no glamour in it - looking back. The world certainly wasn’t purer. But ours felt bluer, brighter and maybe something has been lost, left behind’

One night over a few whiskies, ruminating over their numerous failed/failing musical endeavours, Sam and Jack decided, against their better judgement, to start a new band. Thrillhouse is an indie outfit based in Brighton, UK. Comprised of two lead songwriters and their mates Ali and Leo who play bass and drums respectively. You could call Thrillhouse a super-group, in the way that Hawkeye is a superhero. The music is old-school, retro, whatever sounds cooler, with influences from Dylan and Springsteen to Dire Straits to War on Drugs.

The concept for the album was derived in much the same way as the band's genesis - this time trading childhood stories to the soundtrack of 'Born In The USA'. They dusted off the lid, opened the box and began plucking out memories for a hit of that bittersweet nostalgia. Whilst focussing on reminiscing their childhood, each tune laments the time, energy and money spent on a seemingly fruitless endeavour of pursuing music.
