They made demo tapes and landed a deal with Supremo Records. The band switched to Virgin Records in 2002. They released their debut single “Santa Cruz (You’re Not That Far). The following year they released their debut album, So Much For The City. It went straight to the top of the charts and went platinum.

[edit] Reviews
The Thrills has great rhymes and soft beats. They are packed with energy. Although their third release was not that great but the previous ones are unbelievably amazing. -Mimi 12:00, 31 December 2007 (PST)
