The Thermals are a no-nonsense, post-punk outfit from Portland with not much else to show for it other than some galloping bass lines, guttural guitars, and drums that come crashing down like melted steel in a razor blade factory. If you’re looking for melody — at least outside the guitars — the group is closer to Minor Threat than it is Green Day, and even though The Therms could be deluge washed ashore from some explosive lab experiment between Weezer and Ian McKaye, you might even find it more entertaining. See for yourself on The Red Bull Music Academy and get a peak at their latest work, Now We Can See.
