Track By Tracks: Thunderor - Bleed For It (2026)

About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

The whole album is somewhat of a concept album as it tells the story of ‘Thunderor The Musical’: a tale of adventure and romance in the face of mortality, hearkening back to the glory days of arena rock, wild and restless, as a young group of would-be rockers head out on an impromptu adventure in a time of danger and hope.

The year is 1992, in a tumultuous alternate universe, Bowen, a has-been musician and biker, finds himself inspired by romance and gives one more shot at glory. Joined by love-hungry best friends Kenzie and Sheenah, and a local friar, they find themselves in the face of a rival biker leader and thrown into an unexpected journey. Through danger, good times, and love triangles, the troupe are thrown into the trials of life, riding against the wind and never looking back

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

1. Pump Up The Volume:

This one is a fun track, a good pump-up song before a night out or a big event. The middle section is really meant for live, to get the audience pumping.

2. Bleed For It:

This song is the essence of the album; it all revolves and comes back to this theme of bleeding for something. It’s a real anthem with some Twisted Sister vibes.

3. Take Me To The Show:

Simply about friends travelling to go to a rock/metal show and all of the adventures that come with that.

4. Get ‘Em Counted:

This one’s about pro wrestling! Mainly written for my brother Remy, aka Clash Kincade, who also stars in the music video.

5. Cape Breton Home:

Wrote this one as a tribute to back home, Cape Breton Island. Features the great Colin Grant on the fiddle.

6. Streets Of Fire:

A soundtrack for revolution. Danger, chaos, clashes in the streets, the people rallying together. Some Bruce Springsteen influence shining through here.

7. One Chance:

Leaning more on the heavy metal side here, lyrically, it’s about romance, wanting that one chance with the one you want.

8. DreamQuest:

Instrumental bit meant as an epic intro leading to the final song, the climax.

9. In The Fire O’ The Heat:

This final opus is about being in Hell. Not physically, but mentally. Love gone wrong, choices gone wrong, betrayal, left alone with the pieces. Albeit still with a glimmer of hope, resilience.
