The name "Thompson" comes from the Thompson submachine gun, which was Perković's nickname. Thompson annually performs for Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day in Perković's hometown of Čavoglave.

Other collaborations have included Ljuta guja with Jasmin Stavros, and Reci brate moj with Miroslav Škoro. [5][6] Thompson has been banned from performing in The Netherlands because the government forbids "fascist" promotion and deemed the band's lyrics to contain such.[7] Howeve
