Formed in Columbia, South Carolina, THANK
GOD (ex. Members of Guyana Punch Line, Antischism, &
.fuckingcom) was born just a short 4 years ago. THANK
GOD aims to deconstruct the standards and create something
left-of-center with their own frantic and chaotic style
of hardcore. While maintaining a sense of flowing melody,
their fragmented ideas are emphasized between the progressive
interplay of guitars and vocals. Razorcake Magazine
calls the DIY band “Very fast, very noisy, very
skronky.”
In 2006 THANK GOD put together a 6 song CDep that they
released on Tick Tock Records and started touring without
ceasing. Since then, the band released a slew of 7”s,
splits and live cassettes. They have continued to tour
as much as possible with runs throughout the U.S and
Japan. THANK GOD have shared the stage with a range
of diverse bands including Strikeforce Diablo, The Draft,
Cough, Year Future, Attractive & Popular, Clip’d
Beaks, Blood Brothers, HEALTH, Aids WOLF, Circle Takes
The Square, Capsule, Pygmy Lush, These Arms Are Snakes,
Coliseum, Melt Banana, Racebannon and many more.
The band took the majority of 2009 to write and record
at the world famous Jam Room. That material eventually
turned into to the band’s debut full-length LP,
Ice/Age, on Exotic Fever Records. Ice/Age captures the
frenetic energy of THANK GOD’s live show with
ferocious blasts interlaced with moments of hypnotic
post-rock dynamics. With THANK GOD completing their
first full-length, the band looks ahead to more non-stop
touring.
