Founded at Aleph studio in 2003 as THRUSTER! has played live 7 times. Charging ahead with full head of steam through recording and playing important live shows in the Northwestern United States, THRUSTER! has learned that the name THRUSTER! has and is being used by many other outfits. We challenge them to a duel to the rights of the name THRUSTER! THRUSTER! only plays REALLY cool shows. Sean Westergaard of Allmusic.com had this to say about the first ep: Tim Young is one of the most creative guitarists out there. Best known for his work with Wayne Horvitz and Zony Mash, he's been creating a very original style with his mastery of tone and effects and the near-complete absence of clichéd guitar licks. Thruster is his power trio project with bass player Kaveh Rastegar and ubiquitous Seattle drummer Matt Chamberlain.
