Doubting Tomas
Doubting Tomas is an American hard rock band formed in 2012 by guitarist, lead singer, and songwriter Billy Brewster. The current lineup features Brewster on lead guitar, Jamie Jordan on lead vocals, Dustin Chaffin on bass, and Jeff Rose on drums. The international band boasts members from Portugal, the U.S., the U.K., and Germany.
Over the past decade, Doubting Tomas has released several albums that delve into their musical roots and influences. Albums featuring Brewster on lead vocals include Roots (2012), Relics (2013), and Rebel (2019). In 2020, the band released Shattered, showcasing superstar Amanda Power as lead vocalist on eight of the album's nine tracks, with Brewster returning to sing the title track, “Shattered.”
The band has also released numerous singles, including the Eddie Kramer-produced 2013 hit “Stop Bitching Around,” which received widespread acclaim, including praise from legendary songwriter Desmond Child. Recent singles include 2023’s “Silly Little Girl” and “60s Mustang.” In December 2024, Doubting Tomas will release a new album, Ruins, featuring eight tracks with Alex VanTrue on lead vocals and two with Brewster taking the reins. Sergio Unzueta and Jeff Rose return on bass and drums, solidifying the band’s dynamic rhythm section.
Drawing influence from hard rock icons such as AC/DC, Journey, Foreigner, and Black Sabbath, Doubting Tomas combines Brewster’s powerful guitar riffs with VanTrue’s melodic vocal lines and harmonies. At the heart of their sound are Rose’s pounding drums and Unzueta’s unforgivable bass lines, creating a hard rock experience that resonates with fans of the genre.
