This week the world turns its attention to our northernly neighbor for Vancouver's 2010 Winter Olympics. Not everyone's enthused. While the Thermals' one-off ode to Canada has no direct relation or reference to the world's most celebrated international pissing contest, that pissing contest is having its Opening Ceremonies in three days, and as if on cue, here is a power-pop homage to its host. It's loose and quick, a feel-good fist-raiser that sounds like it should be the theme music to a song about youths in Canada brought to you by the makers of That '70s Show.

In Portland punks the Thermals’ video for “The Sunset,” the second single from their new album Desperate Ground, badass bassist Kathy Foster gets a star turn. She plays a boxer training for a big fight with, as far as I can tell, the camera operator, and she also gives us her version of Rosie Perez’s [...]

Portland trio the Thermals have been cranking out urgent, strident, catchy-as-all-hell pogo-punk anthems for more than a decade now, and recent jams like “Born To Kill” and “The Sunset” show absolutely no signs that they’re showing down. Their album Desperate Ground lands next week, and you can g...

Since 2002, the Thermals have crafted raucous, ebullient post-pop-punk tunes that are ridiculously catchy and singularly intense. Over the years, Hutch Harris, Kathy Foster, and — for the last few albums — Westin Glass, have honed their craft from their homebase in Portland, Oregon, releasing five records filled with thoughtf...

“The Sunset” is the Thermals’ follow-up to Desperate Ground-first single “Born To Kill.” The track is much more self-reflective than “Born To Kill” but is still packed with the same anthemic energy that post-pop punk demands. Check it out below. Desperate Ground is out 4/16 vi...
