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.

The Dark
Thrice Lyrics
You try and keep me out of sight
You try and keep me out of sight and out of mind
Out of mind
You try and keep me from the light
You try and keep me from the light, but I know it's mine
I know it's mine
You're rigging the game
You're part of the system
You've chosen the way
But you'll never listen when I speak
I'm not gonna wait
I've made my decision
And I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
You're always telling me you're not
You're always telling me you're not, not enough
And I'm enough
You're always turning back the clock
You're always turning back the clock, but time is up
Time is up
You're rigging the game
You're part of the system
You've chosen the way
But you'll never listen when I speak
I'm not gonna wait
I've made my decision
And I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
We've taken our knocks
We're not gonna take them anymore
We're not gonna stop
'Cause we've seen the world we're fighting for
So ready or not
Together we're kicking down the door
And we're not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No, we're not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
You try and keep me out of sight and out of mind
Out of mind
You try and keep me from the light
You try and keep me from the light, but I know it's mine
I know it's mine
You're rigging the game
You're part of the system
But you'll never listen when I speak
I'm not gonna wait
I've made my decision
And I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
You're always telling me you're not
You're always telling me you're not, not enough
And I'm enough
You're always turning back the clock
You're always turning back the clock, but time is up
Time is up
You're rigging the game
You're part of the system
You've chosen the way
But you'll never listen when I speak
I'm not gonna wait
I've made my decision
And I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No I'm not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
We've taken our knocks
We're not gonna take them anymore
We're not gonna stop
'Cause we've seen the world we're fighting for
So ready or not
Together we're kicking down the door
And we're not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore
No, we're not
Gonna sit in the dark anymore

Trata de mantenerme fuera de la vista
Trata de mantenerme fuera de la vista
Y fuera de la mente
¡Fuera de la mente!
Intentas alejarme de la luz
Intentas alejarme de la luz
Pero sé que es mío
Sé que es mío
Estás manipulando el juego
Eres parte del sistema
Se muestra en el camino
Que nunca escuchas cuando hablo
No voy a esperar
He tomado mi decisión
Y ya no voy a sentarme en la oscuridad
No, ya no me sentaré en la oscuridad
Siempre me dices que no lo soy
Siempre me dices que no soy suficiente
Pero soy suficiente
Siempre estás retrocediendo el reloj
Siempre estás retrocediendo el reloj
Pero el tiempo se ha pasado
Se ha pasado el tiempo
Estás manipulando el juego
Eres parte del sistema
Se muestra en el camino
Que nunca escuchas cuando hablo
No voy a esperar
He tomado mi decisión
Y ya no voy a sentarme en la oscuridad
No, ya no me sentaré en la oscuridad
Hemos recibido nuestros golpes
No vamos a llevarlos más
No vamos a parar
Porque hemos visto un mundo por el que vale la pena luchar
Listo o no
Juntos vamos a derribar la puerta
Y ya no nos sentaremos en la oscuridad
No, ya no nos sentaremos en la oscuridad

You try to keep me out of sight
You try to keep me out of sight
And out of mind.
And out of mind.
You try to keep me from the light
You try to keep me from the light,
but I know it's mine (X2)
You're rigging the game,
You're part of the system;
It shows in the way
That you never listen when I speak.
I'm not gonna wait-
I've made my decision
And I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore.
No I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore.
You're always telling me I'm not
You're always telling me I'm not enough,
But I'm enough.
You're always turning back the clock,
You're always turning back the clock,
But time is up. (X2)
You're rugging the game,
You're part of the system:
It shows in the way
that you never listen when I speak.
I'am not gonna wait-
I've made my decision
And I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore.
No I'm not gonna sit in the dark anymore.
We've taken our knocks-
We're not gonna take the anymore.
We're not gonna stop
'Cause we've seen a world worth fighting for.
Ready or not-
Together we're kicking down the door.
And we're not gonna sit in the dark anymore.
No we're not gonna sit in the dark anymore.

Palms needs to bring thrice to the top charts like they should’ve been years ago they deserve the recognition
Beezy Beez
Thrice is the best !!! But you need to go listen to “Live Not Survive” by SLT right away !!! 🤘🎶 Y’all missing out !!! 🎸🔥🎼 🥁 !!!!!! :)
Ethan Parish
Yes sir mr. president
Adam Zuck
@Benjamin Villarreal Yes agreed. Solid piece of work indeed. EXTREMELY well-written, but won't garner attention of mainstream ears, not like TBEITBN did. To me, a musical 4 steps back from their previous record, and lyrically, a step forward.
Upside down and inside out
Krya Asteria Cause George Washington does what he wants 😂 lol.
ytboi
wouldn't mind if they played this on the radio once or thrice
Beezy Beez
Thrice is the best !!! But you need to go listen to “Live Not Survive” by SLT right away !!! 🤘🎶 Y’all missing out !!! 🎸🔥🎼 🥁 !!!!!! :)
