The video was shot in quarantine and features Matt, Anya, and comedians Nikki Glaser, Andrew Collin, and Ian Fidance dancing on Zoom.

Hutch Harris, frontman of the now-defunct Thermals, recently played a solo show and launched a new Twitter account that appeared to be advertising a solo career, and today he released his debut solo album...

Plus: Jason Isbell, Insane Clown Posse, The Holydrug Couple, The Magic Numbers, Big Red Machine, Hop Along and more tour news.

Not only did Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss join Thermals bassist Kathy Foster's new band Roseblood, Kathy also joined Janet's band Slang...

The Thermals are no more, but bassist/backing vocalist Kathy Foster is staying busy with her solo project, Roseblood, who just played their first two shows with new drummer Janet Weiss (of Sleater-Kinney), opening for Speedy Ortiz.

Bummer news: long-running and reliably great indie-punk vets The Thermals have officially broken up after a 15-year career.

You can listen to "Surface Envy" from 'Live in Paris' now.
