The Thermals - What else can I say besides that these guys are the best example of what it is to be Sub Pop right now. Tragically, that means that they’re one step behind the innovators of the genre. Don’t get me wrong, I love Sub Pop more than any other label with the possible exception of Kill Rock Stars and I definetely dig The Thermals, but they really have no big surprises to offer. Now having said that, The Thermals are a three-piece from Portland, Oregon. I’d liken their song structure to those by The Honorary Title and their laid back vocals seem to channel early Apples in Stereo. Check ‘em out if you’ve got the time. I’m sure you won’t be let down.
