Thrice came out of Irvine, California, in 1998, started by Dustin Kensrue on guitar and vocals and Teppei Teranishi on lead guitar while they were still in high school, with the Breckenridge brothers, Eddie on bass and Riley on drums, locking in underneath. Early on they played melodic hardcore at full tilt: distorted guitars, lead lines twisting all over the neck, time signatures lurching every few bars. The Artist in the Ambulance in 2003 is that sound at its sharpest, with "All That's Left" and "Stare at the Sun" wiring post-hardcore fury to big, shout-along choruses.

Then they got restless. Vheissu in 2005 let in electronic beats and keyboards and a far stranger mood, and The Alchemy Index, released across 2007 and 2008, split their music into four parts named for fire, water, air and earth, each with its own style. Beggars followed in 2009 and Major/Minor in 2011, before the band announced a final tour and went on hiatus.

The break didn't hold. Kensrue and Teranishi decided to bring Thrice back in 2015 after catching a Brand New show, and To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere and Palms found them folding all those experiments back together. They've also given part of every album's proceeds to a different charity.
