the Thermals Reviews

The Thermals - 'Canada'

Waiting for the Thermals’ next (and 5th) LP - ‘Personal Life’ - is a slow process, with September 7th 2010 the scheduled release date on Kill Rock Stars. To ease the pain, the band have released the new single.. ‘CANADA’.

Thursday's Track Reviews

Obits - "Pine On"; Obits may be the new kid in the Sub Pop stable but they are certainly not new kids. The band consists of four members, all of whom have extensive histories in the music world. Now that they are together though they are bringing everything they do well together and amking some boot stomping, straight up rock classics. This tune should have people hanging from rafters when they hear it!
Grade: A

Polly Scattergood - "Nitrogen Pink"; It’s pretty easy to start any writing on Polly Scattergood by comparing her to either Bjork or Joanna Newsom, and to be fair she does sound quite a bit like those two artists, but she also incorporates a lot of other elements in creating a completely unique, far out sound. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying her new album lately and this tune is defintiely a stand out. Get to know her, you’ll be hearing a lot about her.
Grade: A-
