Thrust was a high energy rock band from the Gold Coast formed in 1982. The band evolved out of another Gold Coast band The Cursed. Originally a quartet they recorded a mini-LP 'Go Insane' on the Grown Up Wrong label in 1988 which impressed Californian hardcore punk bible Maximum Rock n Roll whose critics looked favourably on it. The band were also featured on the 'Hard To Beat' compilation with a cover of The Stooges ''Your Pretty Face Can Go To Hell''.
Becoming a trio after the departure of guitarist Bill O'Donnell, the band recorded their second album 'Mindless' in 1989 which was produced by Radio Birdman's Rob Younger and The Hard Ons manager Tim Pittman. In the same year the band signed on for a capital city tour with The Hard Ons. Thrust played many venues on the Gold Coast like The Playroom, Surfers Paradise SLC. A third album 'Burnt Out' was released in the late 90s.
