Thurston could be:
1) A rock band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:

2) Short for Thurston Moore, co-founder of Sonic Youth, who has delivered his first solo record since 1995 under his shortenend moniker. Trees Outside The Academy was compiled with friends like Jay Mascis & longtime drummer Steve Shelley, it continues an alternative musical journey begun in the late 1970's. Moore sees himself liberating whatever ossifying standards rock n' roll has been threatened by since the late 70's. The earliest recording on the solo album is at the end, of then 13 year old Moore playing with scissors in front of a tape recorder.
