Thadeus Gonzalez - Lightning Hits The Land


Oakland, California-based musician Thadeus Gonzalez is a singer, songwriter, and musician. A frontman to watch with "an arena looking and sounding attitude," Thadeus garnered international prominence while leading the local rock band Electric Sister over ten years ago. His reputation for fusing genres was cemented after he went solo in 2014. Reviews of Utopian Society, his independently released debut album, stated that "this musician can play and sing with the best of them recording today." Spectra Music's 2018 release of Silver Inside marked the beginning of nearly two years of cross-country and worldwide touring. KISS, Motley Crue, Slash, and Bon Jovi have all used Thadeus as their opening act. Opposite Faces, his third album, was released in 2021 through Rebel Waves Records.

This is his new single, called Lightning Hits The Land. The song starts with filtered vocals followed by a pure Hard rock riff. The vocals are inspired, punchy and catchy at the same time and the general sound of the song is perfect for the genre. Also, the performance of the band is spot on (check out the amazing guitar solo towards the end of the song!).
