Bio: Joe Thrasher is more than a metal band. That guy banging his head in
his basement bedroom? He's Joe Thrasher. That girl who is five feet
tall and 100 pounds but decides to start the mosh pit? She's Joe
Thrasher.

As a band, Ottawa-area-based Joe Thrasher brings those thrashers together in... See Full Bio

“Oh, if this was not a CD but a woman, this would certainly be one of the hottest discoveries I ever made and you can be certain, for late 2011 this is musically some of the hottest shit you can get into your player. Old skull thrashmetal and honest to the bone and down to earth heavy street rawk get coupled and powered up with a slightly anthemic approach here and there, to make the songs even more catchy and memorable as they already were on the band`s debut album some time ago. Indeed, if this was not a CD but a woman, you`d get a helluva f…loving out of it. If MOTÖRHEAD, ATOMKRAFT, SACRIFICE (CAN) and RAZOR had a giant party to celebrate their love for hard rawk music, this would be the way a jam could sound like. And be sure, this band has charisma that gives so many current thrash acts a run for their money. And these cats can even play like hell, they just concentrate on songs that march straight forward and overrun you. Enjoy or die! ”

— Sir Lord Doom, Hellion Records

"Joe Thrasher" popped into our heads and we all thought it was awesome and kinda of unique and went with it! More than nine years later, we still love it.

— Interview with Matt, http://aristocraziawebzine.blogspot.com/

"Special mention as it was in "Metal Forces" is made again to Scott, the singer has not only improved and now completely master of his own voice, is at home both during and in the most aggressive melodic and dark, the lines assigned to the tracks make it much justice to the music and "We Are The Ones" is a fucking anthem." Translation from the Author "What the f#$% are labels looking at?... more Joe Thrasher, this is what Metal really needs"

— "Mourning", http://aristocraziawebzine.blogspot.com/

"The closing track is called Canadian Metal. It sounds like a heart attack, and gets the fists pumping"

— Denis Armstrong, The Ottawa Sun

"Simply put, Cries of War is a lot of fun. Most songs are straightforward but damn well played, speedy thrashers that just rip through the speakers, the kind of songs that you just can't ignore – you'll either sing along, headbang, raise your fist, at least tap your foot, or any combination of the above. This makes for really bad background music, let me tell you." 4.5/5

— Michel Renaud, Metalcrypt

"There is an obvious passion for what Joe Thrasher are doing and they manage to create an incredible 80′s thrash sound without sounding like a retro band. It’s also worth noting that the band does not resort to bad production to help capture the sound either, Cries of War is a crisp piece of metal that would sound really good on vinyl (hint, hint)! " 9/10

— Jason Wellbound, Hellbound

"I personally love Joe Thrasher! They do not disappoint metal heads when watching them live or listening to their albums! In my opinion, this band is one of the top thrash bands in Canada today!" Ingrid for Metal Master Kingdom

— Ingrid, Metal Master Kingdom

"It’s hard to not like a band called JOE THRASHER, ain’t it? And then, a song called ‘Canadian Metal’ and another called ‘Metal Til You Puke’ (next line, of course, is “all over the stage”)? Uh, yeah, count me in. This Ottawa band delivers the metallic goods with surprisingly high quality levels here, everything from production sound (top notch) to playing ability" 8/10

— Greg Pratt, bravewords.com
