The Thrills confirm summer release for third album

“We’re still applying the finishing touches,” says Conor Deasy of the collection, which was originally mooted for late March/early April. “A healthy proportion of our friends and acquaintances are screaming at us to just put it out. Perhaps we’re losing our minds! And being obsessive! But we’re so close to making the album we always wanted to make. Nick, our A&R man, has gallantly stood by us through thick and thin. Sometimes these things take time.”
Meanwhile, Friday February 23 found the lads attending the premiere of a new documentary about them at the Jameson Dublin Film Festival.
Imaginatively titled The Thrills, the 70-minute film follows Foxrock’s finest from St. Patrick’s Day in Tempe, Arizona to Dublin’s Phoenix Park where 80,000 people saw them opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
