It's a new year for Portland's beloved power punk trio the Thermals...in pretty much every sense: new label (Kill Rock Stars), new drummer (Westin Glass), new record (Now We Can See, out April 7) and now, a new European tour. They'll make a quick stop at Brooklyn's Bell House January 31 before sailing across the Atlantic to support UK rockers the Cribs. Hate the Cribs? Leave early. Or show up to one of the group's headlining gigs in especially Thermals-friendly locales Sheffield and London. It's all in preparation for their extensive U.S. jaunt in support of the new LP, which will start in April and continue-- at summer festivals and beyond!-- for months and months to come.
