&#34;My favorite new artist of the moment.&#34; -Robin Hilton, NPR&#39;s &#34;All Songs Considered&#34;

Dubbing his style &#34;basement folk&#34; (as opposed to &#34;garage rock&#34;), Queens, NY, native Thomas Patrick Maguire has gone his own way since age 12, when he started playing guitar. In the early &#39;00s, Thomas created some recordings at the home of friend and fledgling engineer Mike Estrella, which became his overstuffed 21-track debut, Pissing Streams (2004).

In the meantime, Thomas had also started going to the weekly open mic at the Sidewalk Cafe in NYC&#39;s East Village, noted as the home of the Anti-Folk scene that launched the likes of The Moldy Peaches, Nellie McKay, and Beck (see: The REAL Sound of Anti-Folk). At the Sidewalk, Thomas met Dashan Coram of the band Huggabroomstik, who was also running his own record label, Luv-A-Lot Records. Luv-A-Lot released Thomas&#39;s next album, Woodside Lanes (2005).

On Christmas in 2007, Thomas released his third album, A Slight Return, featuring collaborations with Jon Sebastian of The Color Wheels. He worked in separate sessions with Sebastian and producer Brian Speaker on the follow-up album, Temper Tantrums Cause Delays (2010).

Since 2012, Thomas has worked with Staten Island musician and producer Tommy Bones (of Blurple) on an increasingly more eclectic series of albums: No Suppression, Gentleman Drunk (2012), In the Bag (2014), Irish Silence (2017), and Vicious & Suspicious (2019).
