Third Thought

Old school punk, folk, & rock fans, you have some new music to get excited about. Third Thought is a band from Fremont, OH that has been inspired by some of the greatest musicians of all time like the Beatles, The Who, The Replacements, The Clash, Alice in Chains, & System of a Down, just to name a few. Third Thought is the songwriting platform for singer-songwriter/guitarist Matt Ingles. Mat has been playing guitar and writing songs since the age of 14. Matt has always been heavily influenced by various genres of rock and music in general ranging from Thrash Metal to 60s pop, and anything else he finds interesting, passionate, and composed uniquely.

The band is currently mixing their debut album, Speaking Vibes, and should be available in the very near future. Gentlemans Curse Lifted is the debut track from the album and it has tones that remind me of Marcy Playground's "Sex and Candy" with just a touch of influence from the alternative punk scene that was raging in the late '90s. The raw vocal sound is the first thing that grips you and draws you into the music. The musical composition is accustomed to having that rock edge with the dial pulled back ever so slightly to the folk sound of the industry. Fans of WEEN will be overjoyed that the guitar solo has moments that will take you back to the days of Chocolate and Cheese. Definitely a band you should take a moment to hear and find out if you've just found your new favorite band. - David Hughes

One of the beauties of the advancement of recording techniques is that it is now easy for a songwriter to record a full album and all the instrumental parts on his own in his own space. This has brought much more music to the world. Something we heard recently is Third Thought.

Third Thought

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Matt Ingles is the brains behind Third Thought. He has been playing guitar and writing songs since he was 14. His love of music has a wide range as Matt claims everything from Thrash Metal to 60’s Pop as influences. The focus of his music is to create something passionate and interesting.

The newest release by Third Thought is the full length album Speakin Vibes. The 11 track record tackles some different rock genres to put out a full plate of sound. The opener”Banana Havoc” lets you know right away you are in for something different. There is some raw emotion on “Denial Blues” that bleeds through the lyrics. The vocals are not the strongpoint of Matt but the songwriting talent is very evident. On “Maybe Next Time” he lets his guitar do the talking and the melodic journey becomes quite magical. One of the stronger songs is “Gentlemen’s Curse Lifted”. The slowly strummed guitar provides only a background as the lyrics and minimalistic feel creates an aura of reaching deep into the songwriter’s mind.
