The Thunderlords are an American parody rock band. They describe themselves as "heavy metal for kids." The band began primarily as the work of video-game programmer Alan Flores, a native of Los Angeles, with some help from his young daughter, Maya (born 2000).[1]
The 2005 album Noisy Songs for Noisy Kids has charted on children's music charts in the US, Australia and Belgium.[1]
They are known best for their songs "I Like Dirt" and "Ice Cream Headache" on the soundtracks for the bestselling video games Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Tony Hawk's Project 8 and Tony Hawk’s American Sk8land respectively. The latter game also won the IGN award for Best Licensed Soundtrack on PlayStation 3 in 2006.
