Ultimate Thunder are the Leeds learning-disabled / neuro-divergent band who made the news recently when their funding was cut. The band are described as Post-everything learning disability-forward avant space rock a la Hawkwind, The Fall, PiL. They recently released their second album 'A Spider Will Come To Eat Your Flesh' collaborating with producer/ musician James Mabbett (Napoleon IIIrd).

"This is not a novelty record. This is just a great album full stop. One of the best of the year.

Behind the scenes at Louder Than War I’ve been fighting for it to be the coveted ‘Album of The Week’ only to be over-ruled by dictatorial middle-management as supposedly Big Special and Arab Strap are deemed more important and of wider-interest to our hipster readership. I threatened to resign, hinted at blackmail, intimated violence, the lot, but there was no swaying them….

If this isn’t the most immediate, exciting and original slice of dance-punk since ‘Jobseeker’ and ‘We Live Here’ I don’t know what is…." - Ged Babey (Louder Than War)
