- If you don't know who Thumb is, your just missing out on the roughest and most aggressive hardcore you will ever hear, with a nice touch of turntables 3 will turn YOU "Upside and Down"! With their roots firmly placed in hardcore, punk and professional skating, the German based quintet of Thumb got together in 1993.
- Originally consisting of Claus Grabke (vocals), Jan Hendrik Meyer (bass), Axel Hilgenstoehler (guitar) and Steffen Wilmking (drums)... Jens Goessling (turntables) was eventually added to the line-up for his contribution of sampling techniques rather than turning the band into a metal/hip-hop cliché.
- If you're familiar with Thumb's previous release Exposure and found that album quite exhilerating, then listening to 3 will just leave you in awe. The pace picks up vigerously in such songs as "Upside and Down", "Down Like Me", "Lie to You", and "Suck Me Dry".
- This is in fact a punk website, and of course you might not give a shit about Thumb, but why don't you just give them a shot... you will be suprised. Just download some mp3s, and if you like... go buy the album 3 as soon as possible!
