The Union are a British rock band formed in 2009 by Luke Morley, guitarist for Thunder, and Peter Shoulder, formerly of Winterville.
[1][2] After the breakup of Thunder in August 2009, guitarist Luke Morley announced that he had formed a new group with Pete Shoulder, whose previous band, Winterville, had split in 2007.
[1] Chris Childs (also previously in Thunder) and Phil Martini (from Down 'n' Outz) were later named as the bassist and drummer respectively for the band, although not as 'full' members of the group, as they intend to have a more "fluid line-up".
[21] The Union embarked on a co-headlining tour of the UK with The Answer in March 2012,[22] and also played alongside them at the Steelhouse Festival in July of the same year, which took place in the vicinity of Ebbw Vale.
[24] Siren's Song was nominated in the 'Album of the Year' category at the 2012 Classic Rock Magazine Awards,[25] although it eventually lost out to Rush's Clockwork Angels.
