Description
Shooting at the Sun is the sixth studio album by English hard rock band Thunder. Recorded from October to December 2002 at Jacobs Studios in Farnham, it was produced the band's lead guitarist Luke Morley and engineered and mixed by Rupert Coulson. The album was initially released online by the band's own label STC Recordings on 3 March 2003, followed by a physical release in Japan by Victor Entertainment on 5 March and in Europe by Frontiers Records on 7 April. Following the release and promotion of the band's fifth studio album Giving the Game Away in 1999, Thunder disbanded in May 2000. The group spent two years on hiatus, before reuniting for a Monsters of Rock tour in November 2002 and recording their sixth studio album. Shooting at the Sun was written entirely by Luke Morley, with Winterville frontman Peter Shoulder the only co-writing credit on "The Man Inside". Morley and Shoulder would later form The Union in 2009. Shooting at the Sun failed to register on the UK Albums Chart, although lead single "Loser" reached number 48 on the UK Singles Chart, number 5 on the UK Independent Singles Chart, number 3 on the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart and number 48 on the Scottish Singles Chart. The album was promoted on two UK concert tours in mid to late 2003 – one in May and another in November – followed by a number of European shows the following year in January, May and July.
