The Thermals - Desperate Ground

Review by Neil Ashman

You can only write so many hi-tempo, powerchord driven punk-pop songs before they all start blending into one in your consciousness.»

'Desperate Ground', The Thermals' newest LP and debut for Saddle Creek, was produced by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth) in Hoboken, NJ. Agnello and The Thermals completed the record and evacuated the studio just hours before Hurricane Sandy ravaged New Jersey, a fate quite fitting when you consider the product. 'Desperate Ground' is a true scrappy and scratchy return-to-form for The Thermals, with all the raw power and unhinged adolescent energy that made their early LP's so insanely enjoyable.
