The Thermals
Label: Sub PopGenre: Punk, Rock
Like that sullen kid in high school who was aggressively straight edge and pissed off because no one else knew what it meant, the one who deliberately got every question wrong on the ACT because it's harder than getting every question right, like Minor Threat 25 years earlier (jeez, is it already that long?), The Thermals have something to say and they want to make sure you don't miss it. Offering loud, sloppy, aggressive "post-pop-punk" as they like to call it, this Portland band's brand of anti-establishment, high-octane anger is gaining so much ground it made The New York Times a few weeks ago. The top two tracks below are from their most recent effort, The Body, The Blood, The Machine, recorded by Fugazi's Brendan Canty. (See, there is a Minor Threat connection.)
