The long-running, hard-pogoing Portland punk trio the Thermals will drop their new album Desperate Ground in a couple of months, and first single is a righteous rager called “Born To Kill,” an anthemic call-to-arms that ends in less than two minutes. It’s not like this band ever got pretentious, even at their most ambitious, but [...]

When you combine elderly people and indie rock, you get hilarious memes. That's just science. Scrapple.tv's Breakfast At Sulimay's is a Web video series in which three seasoned listeners critique a wide range of recent tracks at a Philadelphia diner. It's been around for several years (here they review the Thermals' "Pillar Of Salt") but is all ...

(Photo from last year's Rachael Ray SXSW party by Tyler Grisham)Last month, we reported that TV chef Rachael Ray would throw another food-and-indie rock party at SXSW. At the time, the only bands rumored to be playing were the Airborne Toxic Event and the Hold Steady. Well, it's confirmed: As reported by EW.com and confirmed by Ray's website, ...

As we previously reported, the feisty foodie is returning to Austin this year for her second awkwardly titled (and conceptualized) SXSW showcase: Rose's Mojito and Rachael Ray's Feedback: The B-Side. It takes place 3/21 at Maggie Mae's with the Hold Steady, the New York Dolls (!), Bob Schneider, the Airborne Toxic Event, Ra Ra Riot, Semi Preciou...

Photo by Alicia J. RoseIt's never a bad idea to go see the Thermals. Five years ago, I saw the Portland ragers play a converted auto body shop in Baltimore with the Hold Steady opening, and they wrecked.

The last we heard from the Thermals about Now We Can See, the band's upcoming fourth LP (and Kill Rock Stars debut), vocalist Hutch Harris said it was going to be "Long, for us." However unlikely that might have seemed for the consistently laconic Oregon punkers, we have our first bit of proof with the title track "Now We Can See", coming in at ...
