Thomas Nicholas Band – TNB EP

Thomas Ian Nicholas has been making music with his band under the radar for quite a few years now. In the US heā€™s released two albums already as Thomas Nicholas Band (TNB) but until recently his music hadnā€™t reached that far outside of the US. Last week saw the actor/singer play his first ever UK shows as word of his music starts to spread. Thomas is also busy promoting the latestĀ American PieĀ movie,Ā American Pie Reunion, which features his songĀ My GenerationĀ on the soundtrack.

TNB EPĀ is the latest release from Thomas Nicholas Band and features 6 new tracks showcasing Thomasā€™ abilities as not only a singer but also a songwriter and musician. Opening with the rockyĀ Better Off Alone, the EP gets off to a flying start with Thomasā€™ voice soaring as rock riffs drive the melody. Sounding far rockier than weā€™d have guessed by looking at him, Thomas makes a convincing singer with a powerful and unique voice.

Over the course of the EP Thomas shows us his versatility with the commercial pop/rock ofĀ My GenerationĀ (which features on theĀ American Pie ReunionĀ soundtrack), turns his hand to anthemic rock onĀ Love and HateĀ and switches gears on the rock balladĀ Ready To Fly.

Our favourite moment on the EP comes on the shimmering Sound Garden-esqueĀ Get Away. The deceptive verses give way to a storming chorus which allows Thomasā€™ voice to let rip and showcase its full power.

The EP ends with a cover of the James trackĀ Laid, a song which features in theĀ American PieĀ movies. Thomas puts his own spin on the well-known classic and reaches some seriously high notes on the chorus.

TNB EPĀ is a great collection of tracks that should bring Thomas Nicholas Band to the attention of a wider audience. With his profile high again thanks toĀ American Pie Reunion, itā€™s the perfect opportunity to launch his music on the international market. As a singer and songwriter Thomas is very talented and this collection of songs has made us want to get his previous albums.
