Here's a description borrowed from the Norwegian consulate website:
"The Thing burn with the fire, spirit, and inspiration of the hottest free jazz... streamlined with the razor-sharp blade of the fiercest hard rock. With an acoustic jazz instrumentation, the three young Scandinavians sing a rallying wail that can match any stack of amplifiers. The repertoire is a combination of 60's era new-jazz (Don Cherry, James Blood Ulmer) and transformations on hard rock throw-downs (PJ Harvey, White Stripes, Sonics). This is no watered down jazz-rock. The Thing take the most uncompromising aspects of both genres... and turn up the heat.
As if it weren't enough, The Thing are joined by living legend Joe McPhee. McPhee is a true messenger of jazz's radical avant-garde. A musical storyteller at heart, Joe McPhee plays every note with the cry of the blues. A musician of depth, sincerity, and sole, McPhee is one of Jazz's greatest living artists."
