The Thermals

The Thermals, formed in Portland, Oregon, are an influential indie rock band known for their energetic, punk-infused sound and insightful lyrics. With a career spanning over two decades, their forthcoming album *Under Crushing Rain* marks their first release in ten years, capturing the raw intensity reminiscent of their debut, *More Parts Per Million*. Drawing influences from the likes of The Weakerthans and Death Cab for Cutie, frontman Hutch Harris channels themes of resilience and self-worth in their latest work, while rekindling the band's signature scrappy spirit.
