THUG is a progressive/melodic metal band solo project originally from Bradenton Florida. All about jammin' hard and showing people the musicianship and technicality that can be shown through a generally frowned upon genre. THUG started out in 2011 as a 6-piece progressive/melodic metal band from Bradenton, Florida. Over the past two years, it’s worked it’s way down to 4 members and has now become the solo project of Nick Bergere and has since moved to Tallahassee, Florida. THUG strives to show that even at a young age, huge amounts of energy and interaction, as well as a good time through great music can be delivered even through one person. THUG is sure to leave a memorable impression at any live show, utilizing thought-provoking drumming, technical guitar parts, progressive bass lines, and an all-around surreal tightness.
