Sergeant Thunderhoof announce new covers album ‘Hot Hits, Heavy Hooves’
SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF have announced a new covers album!
The Somerset heavy rock five-piece have announced a new album, Hot Hits, Heavy Hooves, which is scheduled for release on 11th December 2026 via Pale Wizard Records. The upcoming release follows 2024’s The Ghost of Badon Hill.
The 11-track collection sees the band putting their own spin on songs by artists including KATE BUSH, PINK FLOYD, ALICE COOPER, BUDGIE, RUSH, DAVID BOWIE, SPARKS and BLACK SABBATH.
Speaking about the decision to release a covers album, vocalist Dan Flitcroft comments, “this has been great fun to put together. We’re busy working on our sixth album, which comes out in the summer of 2027, and as it’s been a couple of years since our last album, The Ghost of Badon Hill, we wanted to give our friends and supporters something to keep them busy over Christmas!”
One of the highlights for me is our take on The Last of the Teenage Idols by THE SENSATIONAL ALEX HARVEY BAND, as it was such an oddball choice, but it very much appeals to us as we’re big suckers for overlooked and underrated British bands like them. I even injected a little Morrissey swagger into how I approached the vocals for the final third of the song. In fact, much of the bands we really admire have that underdog spirit, which very much reflects our own sense of self and belonging. SERGEANT THUNDERHOOF seems to attract the same sort of niche, underground and passionate mentality amongst our amazing listenership.”
