The Thermals have announced the departure of drummer Lorin Coleman. They explained:

The split has been totally amicable, with no hard feelings on either end. Lorin has simply left The Thermals to pursue other endeavors, one of which is playing in the band Andy Combs and the Moth. Lorin played hundreds of shows and recorded a bunch of sessions with us over the past two years. He is a fantastic drummer and a good friend. We would like to thank him immensely, and wish him well in whatever comes next for him. THANK YOU LORIN!

As for Kathy and I, we have just about finished writing a new record, and are almost done with some demos. Hope to post some here soon, watch for it! I think Kathy and I will be splitting drum duties on this next record, and possibly every one that follows it. We are not exactly auditioning drummers yet, but if you live in Portland and are just fucking amazing on the drums, feel free to drop us a line. Please don’t expect a speedy response.

The band released The Body, The Blood, The Machine in 2006.

Tomorrow Polar Bear Club will be releasing their highly anticipated full length. The record is titled Sometimes Things Just Disappear and it follows the band’s impressive debut, The Redder, The Better.

You can check out the record on the band’s Punknews.org Profile.
