Although predominantly formed in Čavoglave, Thompson is currently based in Zagreb. Thompson came to prominence during the Croatian war in 1991, with the release of the first single "Bojna Čavoglave", which proclaims the Croatian resistance to Serbian aggression and yugoslavian centralism and was included in the compilation album "Rock za Hrvatsku" ("Rock for Croatia").
