Break-ups: The Thermals have broken up

In a recent Facebook post, The Thermals announced that after 15 years as a band, they have decided to break up. Their final album was
We Disappear
, which came out in 2016. You can see the band's full statement below.

We are officially disbanding! After 15 years and 7 records, we feel our band has reached far beyond our initial expectations and goals, and are stepping away from it while we still cherish it. We traveled further, soared higher and played louder than we ever dreamed, and we now look forward to a new chapter in our lives, our art, and our friendship. We would like to thank all the great labels who have released our records, all the amazing people who have worked so hard for us, and most importantly our fans, who we consider to be some of the smartest, sweetest and most compassionate people in the world. We love you, and we hope to see you again some day.
Hutch, Kathy and Westin
