Thrice are preparing to hit the road for three weeks this Spring on a co-headlining trek with Manchester Orchestra.  The month-long tour supports Thrice’s recent album Beggars (09/09, Vagrant) and will commence with two nights in Manchester Orchestra’s hometown of Atlanta, GA before wrapping through the country.  The tour concludes in Albuquerque, NM on May 9, with O’Brother supporting both bands on all dates.  Thrice continues to work with Invisible Children, the charity working to raise awareness about the war in northern Uganda, and will have advocates out on the road this Spring.  Read more...

Thrice has set September 15th as the release date for their new album, Beggars. Beggars leaked in mid-July resulting in a pushed up digital release exclusively on iTunes on August 11. September 15 will be the day that the newly beefed up physical CD will be in stores. The package will include a download card featuring five bonus tracks – two b-sides (“Answered,” “Red Telephone”) which were recorded during the Beggars sessions, as well as a hot-off-the-presses studio rendition of The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” – a fan favorite from recent Thrice live shows. Also included are a remix of “All The World Is Mad” by Free The Robots and a remix of “Circles” by Textual.  Read more...

Thrice has set October 13th as the release date for their new album, Beggars. The California-based quartet recorded the 10-track set at producer and guitarist Teppei Teranishi’s New Grass Studios this spring. Check out the album art and track listing for the album below.

“I’m really excited about this record,” said vocalist/guitarist Dustin Kensrue. “Beggars is 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.”  Read more...

Below is a message from Dustin Kensrue of Thrice.

Hey everyone. Ed is going to put some more photos up soon but he has been busy building various wooden devices to make our studio sound better.
Things are are going good. I think we’ll probably record about 13 songs, 10 or 11 or which will find their way on to the record. Major themes are starting to shape up in my head lyrically but I’ll keep them to myself for the time being.
Not listening to much because I’m writing lyrics in my head while I drive or do mundane tasks, but I have once again been listening to
Josh Ritter – The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter
which is a really great record.
Also listened to Samiam – Astray, last night while cleaning the kitchen. Mmmm. Samiam.  Read more...

Thrice has posted an update about their writing status for the new record

Sorry for the lack of updates…here’s a quick low-down. Dustin was out on a little solo outing for the last couple weeks, but Riley, Ed, and I got together a few times and worked on some ideas. Writing has been going pretty good. We’ve come away with a pretty solid idea for a song every time we’ve gotten together. The songs seem like they’re shaping up nice so far…we’ve only got a few rough skeletons for songs but we’re all pretty excited about what’s happening. I guess that’s about it for now, thanks for stopping by. Gratzie,
Teppei
