‘Fuckin A’, the Thermals’ second album, was their first release for Sub Pop in 2004. Next up was album ‘The Body, the Blood, the Machine’ which was released in 2006. Following a subsequent departure from Sub Pop’s roster, the Thermals signed with Kill Rockstars and released the indie-pop goodness-filled full-length ‘Now We Can See’ in April 2009.
