The Thermals and Chin Up Chin Up
« on: 21 Sep 2006, 15:29 »
Cursive is coming here in October, and I am definitely going. Their opening bands are The Thermals and Chin Up Chin Up. Two bands that I have never heard of. For those of you that have heard of them, are they any good? If so, which CDs would you suggest?

I would not usually make a topic like this, but I have not been able to find any of their music, though I have not searched hard.

Thank you.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

I am a big fan of The Thermals, but I haven't been able to get into Chin Up Chin Up.  Get the Thermals' latest, "The Body, the Blood, the Machine".

You can find some Thermals mp3s here and some Chin Up Chin Up mp3s here

There are new Thermals tracks on their Myspace. It's very awesome stuff and the blurb says it's stuff that envisions the U.S. being governed by a fascist Christian state. There are some very interesting meditations on God and humanity wrapped up in that thar vicious punk.

I just checked last night and they are coming here sometime soon. I might go. Cursive + Thermals = win.

Love all three of those bands, and each one delivers a little something different. You're one lucky SOB!

Well, I checked out The Body, The Blood, The Machine and am digging it quite a bit, especially Here's Your Future. I like how both Happy Hollow and The Body, The Blood, The Machine have the common religious theme.

I will check out some Chin up Chin Up next.

Another reason for those of you who don't have the pleasure to see what I am sure will be a great show is that it's taking place at the local scene place. Where 90% of the people don't actually care about the music that is being played. (that's not just a stereotype off of the clothes that they were, I know a lot of the regulars there, and none of them care about the music at all).

But yes, my friends and I are going to have a good time. Good price too.

I can't seem to get into Chin Up Chin Up. I mean, they sound pretty good, but they just don't grab me like I expected them to from what I'd read. Ah well.

I really like the Thermals.  "Pillar of Salt" is probably one of the best songs of 2006.

Cursive, on the other hand, has really disappointed me.  I don't like the new direction that the band went at all.  The horns sound terrible... I miss the cello.

I've heard the Thermals on the radio a couple of times, and they struck me as really good, and this thread has reminded me to go and get one of their albums.

Am I the only one who really digs the line "Fear me again, know I'm your father. Remember that no one can breath under water."

Downloaded a few Chin Up Chin Up songs the other day. Meh.

It's good as background music, but I don't like it by itself.

Wait so you're letting something that happened 10 years ago ruin your quality of life? What are you, America? :psyduck:
