Unnhh, Torr, some sad but predictable news: The Thrills have been dropped by EMI (so says Wikipedia). :-(
I really hope they still keep going and find another label for them. Teenager was a really ace record despite not selling hardly any copies.

that's a total bummer, though i can't say i'm surprised. they simply cannot catch a break anywhere outside of their native Ireland.
