Despite just releasing their album, Now We Can See, in April, Portland, Oregon-based indie-punk band, The Thermals, have already begun working on a new album. They’ve even gone as far setting a release date of September 7, 2010!
This news is fine by us since we were lucky enough to catch their performance at this summer’s FYF Fest. Rocking out in a swirl of dust and teenage moshing, this trio brings listeners infectious songs with a punk foundation while injecting healthy dose of pop into their sound as well. More info after the jump!
Pop-punk rockers, The Thermals, started the first major moshing which enveloped everyone in a cloud of dust for FYF Fest. However, the moshers didn’t seem to care despite the “No Crowdsurfing” signs.

Remember when you were a teenager and you wanted to listen to music you liked in the car, but your parents absolutely vetoed that option? Parents are so uncool. Well, get a load of this! Three elderly residents of Fishtown, Philadelphia have created a show where they review music of today’s generation (The Thermals, Joanna Newsom, The Decemberists, Clipse, and more) at a diner called Sulimay’s, thus giving their series the title “Breakfast at Sulimay’s.” In this clip, they review Young Jeezy and Animal Collective and I can’t decide if it’s hilarious or completely insane. You may be surprised at Ann approving the rapper, as she points out the “intro” and “assassination” components, yet displaying her distaste for repetitious electronic riffs. Highlights are Joe’s implication of Young Jeezy’s “Black Dreams” putting shame to the African American race and his blatant plug for Girl Scout Cookies as they introduce Animal Collective’s “My Girls.” Watch the clip for yourself, and tell us what you think!
