THB is a guitar-rock-jazz band formed in 2006 in Lahr, Germany. The band evolved from an recording studio project consisted of Thomas Hoppler and Manuel Bräuner. The two musicians run a recording studio in which they also worked on instrumental compositions by Thomas Hoppler.

The music fuses rock, jazz-rock and fusion and forms an unique style which is dominated by the melodic and likewise virtuoso guitar played by Thomas Hoppler. Starting musically as a heavy metal fan he soon developed great interest for the guitarists Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. He studied their technique and compositions but always intended to create his own style.

The first original studio versions of his compositions were produced, when he joined Manuel Bräuner. The drummer completed the songs with his powerful and also precise and creative style. His musical background ranges from punk to fusion and jazz and so he was the perfect addition for this project.

When they had enough material for an album the line-up was added by the bass player Peter Vetter. From now on THB was a complete band and after some months of rehearsals they started to play live gigs.

In 2008 THB gained the German Rock and Pop Award in the categories “Best Guitar Player” and “Best Fusion Jazz-Rock Band”.

In 2009 the debut album “Home” was released. Though the preparations and the mixing lasted months the recording for itself was finished within three days. The band is very proud of this, because they wanted to catch the character of a live playing band. This live approach method required that the entire band played the songs through in one take, which is much more difficult than the usual studio method in which each instrument is recorded separately in isolation.
