The last time we caught The Thermals was at over the summer at FYF Fest! With fierce lyrics, designed to showcase a path of religious tyranny that America might take, these kids can definitely sugarcoat it with their pop-punk sound. With catchy riffs and edgy power chords, you would think they were singing about a their current crush or latest heartbreak. But no, The Thermals have some raw truth in their verse.

Check out the photos below from their show at the Detroit Bar this past Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010. Also check out the photos from opening band, Thao With The Get Down Stay Down.
