The lineup consists of Dustin Kensrue (vocals and guitar), Teppei Teranishi (guitar, keys), Eddie Breckenridge (bass), and Riley Breckenridge (drums).
In 2000, Thrice signed with Sub City Records and released two LP's. The first, Identity Crisis (2000), only received 1.5 stars in the AMG review and little buzz. The second, The Illusion of Safety (2002), was widely acclaimed and received attention from major record labels. Even though Thrice's music has always included metal influences, The Illusion of Safety contained a heavier metalcore sound. The album was recorded in Beltsville, Maryland and the track The Beltsville Crucible reflects this.
In 2003 Thrice signed up with Island Records and released The Artist in the Ambulance, which featured more metal oriented songs while keeping true to their hardcore influences. In 2005 a DVD outlining their entire career to date was released under the title If We Could Only See Us Now. It included a CD with live tracks from the Apple Store and various b-sides.
Thrice released their fourth full-length album, Vheissu, on October 18, 2005. The album was characterized by many critics as being experimentally different, using non-traditional Thrice elements in the process. From keyboard melodies ("For Miles") to Japanese music-box undertones ("Music Box") to chain gang chant choruses ("The Earth Will Shake"), Vheissu introduced a new sound to the band's post-hardcore roots. UK producer Steve Osborne, whose past credits include many Brit-pop hits, was sought by Thrice to gain a new perspective on the songwriting process, enabling the band to expand their musical influences and produce a different album. The album garnered widespread critical acclaim and peaked at #15 on the Billboard 200.
The band releasedRed Sky, an EP comprised of various b-sides as well as live recordings, shortly after Vheissu.
Thrice released the first and second volume of The Alchemy Index, a highly experimental project based on the four traditional elements (fire, water, earth, and air), on October 16th 2007. Over the summer Thrice parted ways with Island records and signed with Vagrant. The Alchemy Index Vols. I & II - Fire & Water was released on October 16, 2007, and sold 28,000 copies in its first week. The album consists of the first two volumes, Fire and Water, and features 12 songs, 6 on each disk. The third and fourth volumes, Air & Earth were released on April 15, 2008.
The "Fire" disc features the heavier post-hardcore sound traditional Thrice fans will quickly embrace, harking back to their pre-Vheissu albums. The "Water" disc, however, is comprised of ambient songs similar to those found in Vheissu, Thrice's previous album release. The "Air" disc brings a whole new element of electronic elements and delayed guitar riffs to Thrice's sound. In "Earth", much like Dustin Kensrue's solo album, "Please Come Home", Thrice introduces an indie-folk sound combining intricate piano and acoustic guitar.
Thrice's sixth studio album Beggars was released digitally through Vagrant Records in the UK on August 9, 2009 and in the US on August 11 with a physical release containing bonus material pencilled in for September 15. These dates deviate from the original proposed release date of October 13 because of a leak via Vagrant Records web player, which has meant the artwork for the album has also changed. The first single to be taken from the album is All the World Is Mad and was first made available through Guitar Hero: World Tour on July 23.
Dustin Kensrue has described the album as being "more visceral and more raw - both in the songwriting and in the overall sound. It moves with a different energy than any of our past records. It was born out of us playing together in a room, almost as a backlash to the giant headgame that was The Alchemy Index" and has been well received critically.
The seventh studio album Major/Minor came out on September 20, 2011 through Vagrant Records. Yellow Belly, Promises and a few other songs were made available for the listeners to stream online before the release date. The album received extremely positive reviews from many online websites. Alex Djaferis of Absolutepunk.net gave Major/Minor a rating of 95%. Tracks like Promises and Listen Through Me reflected a natural progression from the sound Thrice created in Beggars, which was widely appreciated by the early listeners.
Thrice decided to take a break from being a full time band on November 21, 2011. In late spring/early summer Thrice announced the 'Farewell' tour for the spring/summer of 2012 , which would be the bands final tour before going into an indefinite hiatus.
In early 2015 it was announced that the band intends to release new music and tour again. Announcements were done via the bands website http://www.thrice.net/ and social media outlets with an accompanying picture with "Thrice 2015" text.

LYRICS :
In my head everything was perfect
and every note resounds in harmony
all I seem to offer up are discords
and every note I sing sounds out of key
and every time I play with passion
I start breaking strings
and my voice cracks
when I sing from my heart
guess that's the price
I've got to pay to know that I'm alive
this melody is tearing me apart
[x2]
So now what do I have to show
and what price do I have to pay
But like a saiyan I won't grow
unless I'm battered in the fray
'Cause we're all in the same machine
each one with his own broken dreams
passion gives way to failure
so let's all try and understand
you take my hand and I'll take yours
you take my hand and I'll take yours
take my hand and I'll take yours
let our passion bleed

Todays youth will never appreciate discovering a new band while randomly choosing files to download over Limewire as you roll the dice on possibly nuking your computer. Great times.
@historymaker118
I cannot believe it has taken me over 20 years to realise that the riff from this is E1M1 from the original Doom soundtrack... Mind blown.
@TheGearChat
it’s from the video game T&C skate design my guy
@post-leftluddite
I was introduced to Thrice back in 2002 by in a kid in my freshman dorm, so naturally this and Illusion of Safety were the first Albums I ever heard (obviously....they were the only LPs released up until that point), and I still and will always, stand by my belief that these two albums are the best ones and the version of Thrice I like best. Artist in the Ambulance, in my opinion, is the last Album of this version of Thrice, the version that still has hard and aggressive elements and before they started to sound like they wanted to be a slower version of the Mars Volta (BTW, DeLoused in the Comatorium is one of the BEST albums of all time, and unfortunately the Mars Volta's only good album....it was sooo good that they must have used up all their talent and creativity on it)
@rno2worriesx
I think it’s more amazing and commendable that they’ve evolved their sound and direction consistently only 2 decades while staying true to themselves. Because I first heard and fell in love with Illusion of Safety possibly makes me appreciate the journey and music even that much more. Btw, also love Mars Volta as one of my faves ever. Frances the Mute and Amputechture were both great albums, at least had some great songs.. that are super long. After that their sound changed more with their first big change of drummers/direction.

@scottp4357
Yeah they kinda lost me after TAITA... although that's probably a me thing too as I had a lot going on in the mid 200s.
TAITA and The Illusion Of Safety are their career highs to me but a lot of that is probsbly down to nostalgia
@editingdude122
@@scottp4357 Even though it wasn't really my jam I really respected the artistic integrity of what they did pre-hiatus. Now I'm not so sure
@kierenmercier3883
I've been enjoying this album for many years now and it is still one of the best most kick ass rock albums ever
@turbotog86
Still such a catchy tune! Even after almost a decade of listening to this band myself
