The Thermals

While in Vegas last year for the VMAs, Gym Class Heroes bassist Eric Roberts discovered a new favorite band -- the Thermals -- via a music video channel playing in his hotel room at the Palms. "They're just young kids bouncing around the room playing awesome punk rock music," says Roberts of the Thermals' video for "Pillar of Salt."
