Thrust была одной из многих независимых групп середины восьмидесятых годов, играя в энергичном Priest/Maiden-металл-стиле, распространённом в то время. Они дебютировали с раритеным split live LP с другой группой Чикаго Lazer, альбом называется Rock For Poland. После этого было участие на Metal Massacre 4 и выход дебютного альбома Fist Held High. Несмотря на всё это, альбом в конечном счете не стал популярным, и группа погрузилась в культовый статус. После переезда в Лос-Анджелес в конце восьмидесятых годов, они расстались. Но в сентябре 2001 года гитарист Ron Cooke собрал новый состав, и вскоре был выпущен новый альбом "Invitation To Insanity".

Thrust was one of many indie bands of the mid-eighties, playing the sort of energetic Priest/Maiden-inspired metal prevalent during that time. They debuted with a rare split live LP with another Chicago band called Lazer, the album being called Rock For Poland. Following that came an appearance on Metal Massacre 4 and their proper debut album, Fist Held High. Though it had its momemts, Fist ultimately didn't amount to much and the band lapsed into cult status. Following a move to Los Angeles, they broke up in the late eighties sometime, but guitarist Ron Cooke put together a new lineup in September of 2001 and a new album, Invitation To Insanity, has since been released.
