Oh my, oh my! The Thermals are back! Did they ever disappear? Not really, but interest in them kind of waned after their second album "Fuckin A" from 2004. Their first album "More parts per million" from 2003 is pure gold! We love the whole American lo-fi thing they've got going, and wish there were more bands sounding like this (maybe this will change thanks to Let's Wrestle - Britain's own future megastars of tomorrow).We didn't really get into their last album, but now they've gone and left one legendary record label (Sub Pop) for another one almost equally great (Kill rock stars), which might mean a re-ignition. They just finished a tour with The Cribs (ho hum!), and they also did some solo shows that we totally missed. We've seen them live countless times already though (check us out!!!), and they seem to come over here and play all the time, so we're sure we'll get the chance to see them later this year after they've released their new album "Now we can see" (out in April).
