Blending elements of hard rock, grunge, and metal, Thrower delivers a progressive, powerhouse sound rooted in both the grit of the ’90s and the classic rock of the ’70s. The latest release from the Texas natives’ latest single, “Happy When We’re Bleeding” featuring Craig Mabbitt of Escape The Fate is their first release under a new joint venture between Judge & Jury Records and SV Records, an incubator built to identify talented artists and provide world‑class production and songwriting.
Vocalist Isaac Thrower shares “Happy When We’re Bleeding” is a song that originated from how desensitized we’ve become nowadays. It started with scrolling on Instagram and seeing someone die, and just being exposed to the craziest things that created this song. We tried to create something cool and interesting, taking inspiration from the likes of MCR, Soundgarden, and Ozzy Osbourne. Also, just the fact that we are getting to collaborate with Craig Mabbitt of Escape the Fate is awesome. We love his work, and we are seriously just so stoked for what’s to come for the band.”

The origins of Thrower trace back to 2020, when vocalist/guitarist Isaac Thrower and guitarist Cole Stratulate first connected in high school. Bonded by their shared love for artists such as Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and other era-defining acts, the pair set out to form a band. While the early project stalled and the two eventually pursued music in different states, their creative chemistry never fully faded.

Thrower’s early demos eventually reached producer Mark Gray, who shared them with Bobby Amaru of Saliva. This connection sparked the creation of the band’s debut album, Blink.
Following the album’s release, Thrower hit the road, joining Saliva, Drowning Pool, and Above Snakes on the Snafu Tour. The band continued building national momentum, later touring with Cold, University Drive, and September Mourning on Cold’s anniversary tour celebrating 13 Ways to Bleed on Stage and A Different Kind of Pain.
Today, Thrower stands as one of Houston’s rising heavy rock acts—loud, relentless, and built on a foundation of authentic connection and uncompromising sound.
Thrower is Isaac Thrower (Vocals), Cole Stratulate (Guitar), August Galliano (Guitar), Paul Duty (Bass) and Rocky Conant (Drums).
