Thunderbirds are Now! were an American, Livonia, Michigan-based post-punk revival band, whose sound used a mix of traditional post-punk, new wave and noise rock. The band was heavily influenced by 1980s new wave and other post-punk revival acts like Les Savy Fav. They were signed to French Kiss Records, with an additional two releases on Action Driver Records and an EP on Acutest Records.
The band's name is based on the popular British television program Thunderbirds, known for its use of marionettes.
They became inactive in 2009, but reunited for a one-off show in Detroit in 2013.[1]
In 2017, they reunited once again and released two new songs.[2]
