Thunderbird: ‘Give’r’ – Released: May 2023
‘Give’r’ is a Canadian expression whose exact definition depends on who you ask. In essence it means to go for it, go all out and give it all you’ve got, to go above and beyond.
It’s also the title of the latest single from Canadian hard rockers Thunderbird, who this year celebrate their 20th anniversary. The Vancouver-based band has released three studio albums and several singles. Their music has received praise from critics around the world, who have described them as “exceptional” “undeniable” and “the forefront of the underground revival of hard rock”.
Thunderbird’s members are veterans of the Canadian music scene. Singer Marc LaFrance has sung and played on over 100 albums, including some of the biggest hits by Mötley Crüe, David Lee Roth, The Cult, Bachman & Turner and many more.

Thunderbird feat. Marc LaFrance: ‘Time Machine – Released: September 2022
If you could travel back in time, where would you go?
That’s the question answered in our latest single, ‘Time Machine’. A song that invites the listener to travel back for some of the key moments in the history of rock and roll. Imagine seeing Chuck Berry, Little Richard or Elvis in action at their peak. Or in the crowd at Liverpool’s Cavern Club to watch the young Beatles perform, pre-superstardom. Or how about being a fly-on-the-wall at legendary Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, Canada, when it was the hottest recording studio in the world, drawing the world’s biggest bands to record there?
Personally speaking, my musical career was launched by seeing the Beatles live on TV as a kid, and that led me to contribute vocals on many of those famous albums made at Little Mountain Sound during the 1980s and ’90s.Thunderbird, a great band I have been rocking out with since 2003, is made up of veterans of the Canadian music scene: Kelly Stodola – drums, Rob Becker – bass, Bob Richard – guitars and myself Marc LaFrance – vocals. The song is written by Roger Frankham and myself.So, step inside ‘Time Machine’ which available on all the platforms – links are at this website – MarcLaFrance.com
