Whether you find it violative or funny, the name Alabama Thunderpussy has a agency of getting a person's attention. But more important than the band's over-the-top name is its music, a ferocious, thick style of alternative metal that can be infectious as well as bone-crushing. While some alternate metal bands of the nineties could be angular, Alabama Thunderpussy tended to be groove-oriented and knew the value of a catchy hook. Contrary to what its name implies, the band isn't from Alabama, but was formed in Richmond, VA, in the nineties. Alabama Thunderpussy gestural with Man's Ruin in 1998, and its albums for the San Francisco-based label have included Climb up Again (1998) and River City Revival, which was recorded in 1998 and released in 1999. That year, members of the band included isaac Merrit Singer Johnny Throckmorton, guitarist Asechiah "Cleetus LeRoque" Bogden, bassist Sam Krivanec, and drummer Bryan Cox; their third base album, Constellation, followed in early 2000.
