UK Number 40s: Thrills - Nothing Changes Around Here (2007)

 

I have a vague memory of hearing The Thrills quite a bit when they first came about in the early 21st century. I think they would get played on a jukebox at an establishment I regularly went to by default when nobody else was selecting anything, or maybe it was a jukebox advert.

Then one of my flatmates told me about a new band called The Thrills that he liked. He played their album and some of the music started to ring bells. They never really made much impact on the charts though getting no higher than 17.

In 2007 it had been 3 years since we'd last seen them in the Top 40 and they were back with "Nothing Changes Around Here" which was their final Top 40 hit to date.

In terms of their music nothing really did change. It was taken from their album "Teenager" and after that flopped too they were dropped from their record label.
