The Throbs were an American hard rock band from New York City, formed in mid-1988. They featured singer Ronnie Sweetheart, bassist Danny Nordahl, drummer Ronnie Magri and guitarist Roger Ericson. They recorded one album titled The Language of Thieves and Vagabonds produced by Bob Ezrin and Dick Wagner in 1991 for Geffen Records. Little Richard made a special appearance on piano on the track "Ecstasy". The band was dropped by their label six months after the release of the album and failed to continue. After the departures of Sweetheart and Magri, Ericson & Nordahl formed The Vibes. The album has been reissued by Rock Candy in 2007 with additional liner notes and two previously unreleased demo tracks. A second album by The Throbs was made available online in 2014, appropriately titled Second.
