Hailing from Saint Louis, MO, Thames is a five-piece rock band that blends effortlessly between pop, indie, and electronic elements. Formed in 2017, their loud hooks, rapidly growing discography, and intense live shows has cultivated a strong midwestern following. Originating as frontman Gabriel Jackson’s vision of distilling the sounds of Radiohead, Frank Ocean, & The 1975, Thames has grown into their own unique category. With songs of love, life, depression, and sex, their wish is to create music that you carry with you long after the songs have finished.

Thames’ new Emma Miranda Bright-directed video, “Boys Don't Cry”, is a visual representation of the dark depths of society's jarring masculinity. Images of boys in their most vulnerable juxtaposed to men fighting on the theatre floor, all the band is casted in complete shadow, creates a sense of momentum that brings the viewer to an inevitable crash.

Watch as Thames explores the idea of accepting vulnerability versus forcing suppression, and stream the single, which appears on their EP, “Plagues of the Century”, on Spotify. Also, be sure to connect with Thames on their website and social media.
