M|A|R|R|S - Pump Up The Volume

I was in my early teens when I first saw Pump Up the Volume (played on licensed, free-to-air TV). I credit it with boosting my lifelong interest in independent media.

Thunderor unleash new single “Pump Up The Volume”
Canadian heavy metal outfit Thunderor, led by JJ Tartaglia (vocals, drums, Skull Fist) and Jonny Nesta (guitar, formerly of Skull Fist), with Brycen Gunn on bass, have unleashed their electrifying new single “Pump Up The Volume.” This track marks the first preview of their forthcoming second album Bleed For It, scheduled for release in March 2026. Known for their signature blend of arena rock, opera, and heavy metal, Thunderor deliver soaring vocals, powerful choruses, and an energy that encourages fans to embrace life with passion and courage.
The single also serves as the opening number for Thunderor The Musical, the band’s ambitious rock opera that debuted at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2025. The promotional video even features a cameo appearance from Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, adding a unique touch to the release.
“This one is a lot of fun. Turn up the music, pump up your life, Pump Up The Volume! It’s also the opening number for the Musical, and it sets the mood nicely. Although the rest of the album ventures to many different places. Special thanks to Olivia Chow and the City of Toronto for her cameo in the promo clip, super cool.” – JJ Tartaglia

Following their acclaimed debut, Thunderor’s second album “Bleed For It” demonstrates growth in both songwriting and performance. The record features stronger vocals, expansive choruses, and a balance of raw heavy metal energy with theatrical storytelling. As a concept album, it doubles as the official soundtrack to Thunderor The Musical, guiding listeners through themes of love, struggle, and perseverance.
The band draws inspiration from icons such as Meat Loaf, Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, The Darkness, H.E.A.T., Night Flight Orchestra, and their own roots in Skull Fist, creating a modern spin on classic heavy and hair metal.
“Bleed For It” will be released on March 27th, 2026, with a limited vinyl bundle available for pre-order:

About Thunderor
Formed in 2020 by multi-JUNO-nominated musicians JJ Tartaglia and Jonny Nesta, Thunderor deliver hook-filled anthems that channel the spirit of arena rock while weaving in heavy metal, hair metal, and rock opera influences.
Their debut album “Fire It Up” (2022) reached #1 on Earshot’s National Loud Chart in Canada, cementing their reputation as a rising force in the global metal scene. Extensive tours across Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South America followed, with Thunderor sharing stages with acts such as Airbourne, U.D.O., Enforcer, and Night Demon.
In May 2024, their single “Get ‘Em Counted” surpassed 230K views on YouTube, building anticipation for their next chapter. In summer 2025, Thunderor premiered Thunderor The Musical at the Toronto Fringe Festival, a bold rock opera featuring unreleased material that now forms the foundation of their upcoming album.
Set for release in March 2026, “Bleed For It” will feature the high-energy single “Pump Up The Volume,” a track that captures the band’s uplifting spirit and theatrical edge. With enhanced vocals, bigger choruses, and a concept-driven narrative, the album promises to be both a soundtrack to the musical and a standalone heavy metal experience.

Happy to report that Hard Harry's still got it. 🙂
First saw #PumpUpTheVolume on VHS when it came out, it was sensational. Like other high school/coming of age films, it felt like it was made for us. Guess that's why it stands up so well, coz every generation has their time, even now (except instead of HAM radio, it's TikTok).
Anyway, if you've never seen it, consider it required watching (along with Dazed & Confused, Empire Records and The Breakfast Club).
Talk hard! 😎🎙️

I had forgotten how great the Watusi Rodeo track, by Guadalcanal Diary was, until a few minutes ago. 1983, y'all!

"Is there life after high school? 'Coz I can't face tomorrow, let alone another year of this... Eat your cereal with a fork, and do your homework in the dark."
Tonight's viewing distraction from my movie library: revisiting the styling of Happy Harry Hard-on, with a young Christian Slater in Pump up the Volume
Talk hard!

Plan was for this evening's viewing distraction to be another from my DVD library, another early Christian Slater, Pump Up The Volume, to follow last night's screening of Heathers.
For some reason the player has decided the disc is "wrong region" (it isn't). Bah.

To whomever this applies: time to turn up the volume on your diet, exercise and training regimen. Don’t delay, start today! And spring is around the corner!
Your health (mental, physical, emotional) is everything!
LET’S GOOOOOO!!!!

One of the advantages of being deaf (higher frequency sloping loss) if I take my hearing aids out and turn up the volume all speakers come with extra bass ;)

Tattooed Love Boys - #ThePretenders 🤩
This track didn't get much radio airplay like their more mainstream works. This is in my top 3 Pretenders fave picks. It's wicked & high energy 🎶🎸🤘🎵 One of their #PunkInfluence tracks.

Die erste LP meines Lebens war die Formel Eins (eine Fernsehsendung, damals) 1987. Der Grund, weshalb ich als10-jähriger meine Eltern zum Kauf überredete war, dass ich dieses verrückte Lied von M.A.R.S. so cool fand. #Pumpupthevolume Ein Vorläufer des Techno, den ich wiederum weniger mochte.
