He has previously released two EP's - "Make It Up As We Go" and "This Is How It Goes" - and the musicians that featured on those recordings eventually formed a band with Thom named Brokenflower until his move to the US.

While the music that band had begun to make was characterized as indie-rock, the music he began writing in Portland has marked a shift towards the rootsy folk rock he had grown up listening to from the likes of Counting Crows, Whiskeytown and REM, tempered with the pop sensibilities of older favorites like Tom Petty and Elton John.

He now plays regularly in and around Portland, and the summer of 2012 will see the release of his debut album and his first UK shows in 18 months.
