Thornhill's rehearsal space broken into, equipment stolen
Jon Pisani
The Australian metalcore band Thornhill took to social media to inform their fans that they were victims of theft. It would appear the band's rehearsal space was broken into recently and most everything inside was stolen; equipment, merch, and other items valued upwards to $100,000.
The group has set up a GoFundMe to help recover missing items and their cost.
Hi all,
Sometime in the last few days our rehearsal space had been broken into and most of everything Thornhill and our members own has been stolen. The site where our rehearsal space is located had a major fire, and so no video evidence was captured as it had cut all power to the entire block.
This is a devastating blow to the band after the last year we have had trying to get back on track mentally, gearing up for a big year of touring, however with this incident nearing $100,000 worth of belongings stolen we have barely anything left, with drums, cymbals,guitar equipment, IEM racks, merch, cases, banners and personals being amongst the things stolen from the premises.
We have insurance however with CCTV footage and only a police report to go by we can only assume that we won't recover any of our costs back.
We are working closely with our agents in regards with our upcoming New Zealand and Australian tours to see if we can make things work, and, we are trying our best to put these shows on for you.
We have a link for a Gofundme below, which is to help replace the gear that we had, if you can spare anything it would mean the world to us as we are trying to find a way to get back on our feet and keep this band alive.

I remember when hardcore was played on $150 guitars in VFW halls. That was real shit
Can't believe somebody made out with 100k in turtlenecks and eyeliner
Marty Gilroy here! I don't respect breaking in and stealing but I also don't respect my friend Phil for being kicked off shows. I heard from the grapevine it was this band so hopefully they learned! Justice has been served!
Suspect was seen leaving the seen wearing a white half face mask, a long black cape, and had a single red rose in his teeth.
can you fence a Thornhill banner? asking for a friend.
Good quit! I wish more bands would have their stupid shit stolen

Don't these bands have insurance? Especially in Australia, where dingos have been known to eat babies and whatnot.
you're telling me that this band had 100k in musical equipment and no one cares about them? reeks of mommy and daddy's money
should've had no more than 17k worth of 7 string ibanezs, used mesa/boogies, and a couple chinas
I don't believe this shit. Bunch of scamming gay Shout-out to the retards who will gladly shell out money for no reason
Wish they would admit that they just let Blake borrow some gear and never got it back
First. Sucks to be them, mostly because they're awful talentless cucks
