Formed by Monica Queen (vocals) and John Smillie (guitars), Thrum were an independent rock band from Glasgow. With comparisons to Lone Justice and once described as sounding like Janis Joplin fronting Teenage Fanclub, much of the strength of Thrum's guitar-driven sound was built around Monica Queen's luxurious voice, with Smillie's arrangements and guitar playing integral to achieving the complete sound.
