Thrice

Thrice is an American rock band from Irvine, California, formed in 1998 by guitarist/vocalist Dustin Kensrue and lead guitarist Teppei Teranishi while they were in high school. The group has evolved significantly over the years, initially known for their melodic hardcore punk sound characterized by heavily distorted guitars, prominent lead guitar lines, and complex time signatures on albums like The Illusion of Safety (2002) and The Artist in the Ambulance (2003). As they continued to grow, Thrice incorporated electronic beats, keyboards, and experimental elements into their music, as seen on Vheissu (2005) and The Alchemy Index (2007-2008), a four-part, 24-song cycle exploring elemental themes. The band has released eight full-length albums, with the most recent featuring refined combinations of their musical explorations. After a hiatus, Thrice reformed in 2015 and released To Be Everywhere Is to Be in Love in 2016.
