Thames was founded by lead vocalist/guitarist Gabriel Jackson (18) and drummer Sean Buchert (19) in the fall of 2016. After a month of songwriting and rehearsing guitarist/keyboardist Zander Hayes (18) was added to the lineup. In November of that year the 5 piece lineup was completed with addition of lead guitarist Lia Spanos (16) and bassist Jake Nelson (19). 

In January of 2017 original bassist Jake Nelson was forced to transition out due to scheduling conflicts and bassist Connor Fiehler (15) was added to the lineup as his replacement.
