We tried explaining to a friend what to expect from Thrice’s show on the way to Emo’s. Treading through the depth of their discography and their growth as a band proved to be near impossible, so we chose to let the music speak for itself, playing the highlights from each of their seven albums. The progression is natural to the point that I can’t imagine anything else taking each album’s place on their roster. In an industry that’s filed with everything from crunkcore to alt-country, I suspect that letting the music speak for itself is the best hope for the future, and Thrice is certainly doing that.

Exclusive Interview with Chad Ackerman of Destroy the Runner
By Nathan Doyle
You saw the edited blurb in the new print issue, now read the full-length interview…
there was an obvious change in style with both the music and the vocals. I’ve been in the metal scene for a while, since playing guitar for As I Lay Dying, I was like, “Man, I’ve been screaming for so long, let’s do an album on Solid State Records where the music has that heavy side but it’s mostly singing.” I think that album was probably 80% singing and 20% screaming and the new Destroy the Runner record, which was our third album that was going to come out, we totally switched on there to 20% singing and 80% screaming.
Willet Tour Recap

Each week, Kathleen would send me photos of children in Haiti, and it served as a haunting reminder of how “real” the need is, and more importantly, how close the solution could be.
