Thunder guitarist Luke Morley has released Killed By Cobain, the first single from his upcoming solo album Songs From The Blue Room. The song reflects on Thunder's failure to break big in America, when the band failed to capitalise on its first success on the Billboard chart, and a short tour in August 1991 was shelved after the headliner failed to sell enough tickets.
“Killed By Cobain’ looks back at a strange time in my career when Thunder were on the brink of success in the USA,” says Morley. "We had a single in the Top 50 [Dirty Love actually reached #55 in 1991 - Chart Ed]; we’d sold 250,000 albums and we thought we were off to the races, but then grunge happened and we found ourselves in the deeply unfashionable bucket!
