BIOGRAPHY / HISTORY
Established in 2015, The Thick has been playing together since High School. What started as playing hard rock house parties and practicing in basements quickly became something much more creative and special. Fast forward 9 years and The Thick is headlining highly attended shows in Toronto venues and Canada-wide. Two EP’s, a full length LP, and numerous singles all released independently, The Thick is considered as having the most original and unapologetic of sounds. "Overall, The Thick has blown the doors off their niche, and has delivered an extremely memorable experience." - The Music Zine. The Thick is ready to move on to higher ground.
Prepared to release their second full length studio LP, this new era of Thick is heavier and harder. The Thick pays tribute to influences Cage The Elephant, White Stripes, Wolfmother, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. The angst, attitude, and non-existent fear of being pathetic that encompasses the vibe of these bands inspires us and our attitude as an underground rock band emerging in an industry, showing up for our region, becoming more creative and confident as we go, having a sound & look, and pushing the music further.
2025 / 2026 RELEASES
The Thick is gearing up to release its 2nd full length studio LP. In anticipation of the full album drop they've released 4 singles that capture their sound and attitude. “Mongoose”, “Bow Now Now”, “Monkey On My Back”, and most recently “Red Hand”.
Each single was released with a pro music video, a packed release concert, and an extensive socials campaign. So far their marketing efforts have grown their online reach and amassed over 100k views on YouTube, and 100K views across socials. Through these efforts The Thick has been able to build their world, and create connections everywhere. Not only with other bands in their scene but with visual designers, videographers, sound and lighting techs, etc. These collaborations have caught the attention of Juno and Grammy winning rock producers around the world. The best is still to come, we are having so much fun, and we cannot wait to release the entire full LP come 2026.
