Summer Assault sees Thumper venture into new territory as they release their first brand new offering since their debut album was released in 2022. The single comes off the back of their extensive European, UK and Irish tour, including sell out shows in Amsterdam, London, Paris and Dublin. The bombastic Dublin outfit have also played at Sŵn Festival in Cardiff and are gearing up for a set at RTE 2FM‘s Rising on the Road.

Summer Assault is a vignette of self sabotage, an anthem of small failure. It’s about a doomed relationship that carries on regardless, a narrator banging on the glass trying to warn the song’s inhabitants. Each melody and hook competes for space over an ever expanding wall of guitars, bass and their signature double drums. In just over three minutes, Summer Assault sees Thumper boil their trademark noise wall into an ear worm of a pop song.
