Thrice
Formed in Irvine, California in 1997, Thrice are a emo band.
In 1999 they self-released an EP called "First Impressions". Only 1000 copies were made.
In 2000 they signed-up with Sub City and released two LPs: "Identity Crisis" and "The Illusion of Safety", the former which only received 1.5 stars in the AMG review, while the latter was widely acclaimed and received attention from major record labels. Unlike the other albums, "The Illusion of Safety", contained heavy metalcore influences.
In 2003 they signed up with Island Records and released "The Artist in the Ambulance" which featured more structured songs while keeping true to their hardcore influences.
In 2005 a DVD outlining their entire career thus-far was released under the name "If We Could Only See Us Now".
Currently, Thrice has just wrapped up recording their 4th LP, "Vheissu," and are traveling with the 2005 Warped Tour. According to an interview in the January 2005 issue of Alternative Press, "Vheissu" will be different from their last album and will resemble "something like something you might hear in a film score; [parts] that move you emotionally on a level that just comes from the changes of the chords and the notes" (APJAN2005, p94). The album is scheduled to be released in mid-September of 2005.
