The Thumbs

Rising phoenix-like from the smoking and tangled wreckage of a bunch of other Cardiff bands which spanned several genres, Box of Thumbs was born, kicking and screaming, in 2006. They play a very unique blend of melodic indie noise which they want to push your face into.

The hardcore triangle of Kiki Bridges incisive lyrics, wailing vocals and edgy guitar, Gavino's pounding and often intricate bass and Satback's pulsating drums were later joined by Christoph Polini who brought extra guitar depth, backing vocals and some mindless optimism.

Kiki Bridge's often unflinchingly bleak lyrics kick against a world that, all too often, doesn't give you what you want. But that's reality, and if that's not what you want then go and buy a Girls Aloud CD.
