On March 14, Portland punk stalwarts the Thermals dropped by the SPIN House in Austin during South by Southwest to jolt festivalgoers out of any mid-day complacency. Singer-guitarist Hutch Harris, bassist Kathy Foster, and drummer Westin Glass tore through “It’s Trivia,” from the trio’s 2003 debut More Parts Per Million, and “Born to Kill,” from the upcoming Desperate Ground.
In case you weren’t there, this is, by far, the next best thing. Enjoy.
