“The spirit of the glorious 80’s is omnipresent on the debut, those who like authentic 80’s sound should definitely check out.” 8/10” – Rock It!
“The good mood album of the season comes from Canada. Crisp, consistently catchy songs with excellent guitar work, sometimes enhanced with appropriate keyboard sounds.” 8,5/10” – Deaf Forever
“There must be room somewhere between Steel Panther, The Darkness and The Night Flight Orchestra!” – Metal Hammer
“Thunderor the Musical is infectious, hard-rocking comic book fun that blows the roof off the place – I smiled my way through the whole show – I bet you will, too.” – Sesaya Arts Magazine
“Thunderor the Musical is raucous fun with shredding guitars and driving drums… filled with catchy anthems, flawlessly performed by powerhouse musicians.” – Grind Mag
“I’m always impressed when a drummer handles lead vocals, especially in metal, where the physical demands of drumming are intense. JJ Tartaglia nailed it, delivering flawless vocals without missing a drum beat.” – Allfather Metal

Formed in 2020 by multi-JUNO-nominated musicians JJ Tartaglia and Jonny Nesta (also known for their work in Skull Fist), THUNDEROR delivers hook-driven anthems to the caliber set by their arena-rock predecessors, infused with elements of heavy metal, pop punk, and rock opera.
Their debut album, FIRE IT UP (2022), charted at #1 on Earshot’s National Loud Chart in Canada. The band quickly followed up with tours throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South America, supporting major acts such as Airbourne, U.D.O., Enforcer, Night Demon, and more.
In May 2024, the latest single, “Get ‘Em Counted,” was released quickly, amassing over 230K views on YouTube, as the band worked on their sophomore album. In a bold and creative move during the summer of 2025, the band presented ‘Thunderor the Musical’, a full-scale Rock Opera musical that premiered at the Toronto Fringe Festival for a five-show run, featuring new, unreleased material as the musical score.
If you’ve ever felt a longing for escape, a thirst for adventure, wrapped in romance and danger, allow THUNDEROR to be your soundtrack!
