The Thermals - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@robin5on]

One of the best underrated bands of 2000's

[@Craigstaaygear]

indeed

[@TheJulioGulio]

Id say most underrated singer. The drummer and basses are really mediocre. If he had a talented band behind him they would have made it much further then they did but good on him for sticking with his friends

[@rainwhenidie86]

I miss The Thermals dearly. I still listen to their albums often. Their lives shows were so good.

[@ParadiXe311]

They should come back. The Thermals were one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They gave us more than our money's worth.

mad props to any bass player who can keep down strumming like that for a full set

Who is here in 2020 in the middle of the Corona lockdown thinking back of great concerts, wishing to ever attend great concerts in the future?

[@keenvisionzz5839]

I wish I knew these guys but I really didn't notice them until playing skate 3

[@BlakeBlackstone]

I don't really like going to concerts. You're just paying money to go stand in a crowd with 100s of people sucking up the air while you overheat and get shuffled around like cattle. Much rather watch concerts from the comfort of my own home.

[@keenvisionzz5839]

True

[@jessicavanacore8028]

Me in 2021. I was literally thinking when the Pandemic is over, I will not let work or some other perceived responsibility of adulthood get in the way of going to a show ever again.

[@robertbaker974]

Shit yeah.

[@fitzal]

I just found out The Thermals disbanded in April 2018. I'm sad that I never got to see them, but this performance is so comforting.

[@spudlington]

Boo hoo! I was going to write a comment about how they should play some of their 'older stuff' but I guess time has played its part and it's all 'older stuff' now! They really cheered me up in 2002/3 when I was suffering from living in London and everything that had been heard before was considered 'old'! now that I watch the video a bit, I see the lead singer has the words "Hardly Art" on his T-shirt, which is a lyric from the song that got me to buy that album! 'No culture Icons' off 'More parts per million' it was at the time of the birth of auto-tuning, yet the song was so refreshing because it sounded like they had recorded it in a tin-bucket with the guitar chords shoved up each other's asses, which was very refreshing for a kid born about before punk existed, who then grew up on it!

[@adultcrash13]

they are doing stuff again now

[@spacecataz0]

I saw them open for cursive in Philly in 2006 and it was somehow one of the loudest shows I've been to. They were pretty awesome

[@foundatlantis]

get the guy at the mixing desk a beer.

[@ParadiXe311]

If you haven't seen this band live, add it to your bucket-list.

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

Seen them 4x now and they kicked ass every single time.

[@TobuscusSkylander]

they broke up ;(

[@ParadiXe311]

@@MUtley-rf8vg They should get back together. They put on good live concerts.

[@walmars3curity]

I wish I could....

[@doorknobsarefun]

Saw them in Omaha right before they broke up. One of the best shows I've ever been to. So glad I went.

[@nunoferraz5426]

It's maybe a late discovery... but boy am I happy to have found them.

[@ramongarciafernandez]

The best band of the XXI Century.

Ramon Garcia Fernandez and "Personal Life" is the album of the century.

[@dawngreenleaf5367]

I loved this band ( I had kids and now have no time for finding new music). I went to see them live in Indianapolis with Tho Hold Steady about 8 years ago. Glad to see they are still around and making music. The Body, the Blood, and the Machine is still a staple album for me.

[@JoaquinGonzalezMx]

+Dawn Greenleaf That must have been a great show with The Thermals and The Hold Steady, they probably were playing Boys and Girls in America, another amazing album.

[@walmars3curity]

If they get back together and come to indy I will see you there

[@pixiepettersson271]

Ok lets make this clear, I was born in 1961, i was waiting until 1968 when I got some dollars to get my first vinyl, I came back with Led Zeppelin II. After that it was silent till The Ramones. After that there is The Thermals, Thank you………….

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

No Against Me? No Pixies? No Ween? Homie you gottagit widdit.

I think its hard to live without you guys pls reuenite

I literally came here for Pillar of salt, and at the end when they were saying good bye I got sad as fuck, when they started playing it made by day so much better instantly lmfao

Pero que banda tan increíble

[@iota328]

I miss The Thermals- remember their show about 10-11 years ago at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA- hands down the best show I've gone to. The energy, passion, and ferocity of the music was pure gold!

I still love them

Oh this is bloody brilliant! What a band.

You'd think for a band called Minutemen, each of their songs would last at least a minute.

[@mr.champlinssciencechannel906]

For punk songs these are actually fairly long songs.

[@FluffyDino124]

they're more indie than punk really

[@bowlsallbroken]

FluffyDino124 They are punk as fuck no matter how you'd like to categorize their sub-sub-subgenre. They also fit the definition of indie. There is quite literally nothing more boring then arguing over what box to put a band in.

[@FluffyDino124]

bowlsallbroken you're right I was just trying to explain why the songs are longer

[@yvranx]

Those are not songs, those are verses.

[@matthewjames206]

Great sounding band. Love the bass and drums. Though the singer is one of the least charismatic I've ever seen.

[@N64Joey]

This band has an issue with the music not matching the lyrics. The lead singer. He sings slower than the beat in all of their songs. It's good music. But it's not the best. Pillar of salt is the only song that lyrically matches the beat.
