Thrice

Multi-genre rock band Thrice is one of the most notable groups of the 2000s post-hardcore/emo scene, with four of their albums topping the Billboard Independent Albums chart. ∙ Members Dustin Kensrue and Teppei Teranishi’s high school band evolved into Thrice, and their early punk influences shaped 2000’s Identity Crisis and 2002’s The Illusion of Safety. ∙ Their 2003 LP, The Artist in the Ambulance, reached No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and was named one of NME’s 20 Emo Albums That Have Resolutely Stood The Test Of Time. ∙ Hearkening back to their punk roots, they covered Minor Threat’s “Seeing Red / Screaming at a Wall” for the 2005 Top 10 video game soundtrack Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland. ∙ They landed back-to-back No. 1 albums with their concept EPs The Alchemy Index, Vols. 1 & 2: Fire & Water (2007) and The Alchemy Index, Vols. 3 & 4: Air & Earth (2008). ∙ “Black Honey”—the 2016 single released when they reunited after a three-year hiatus—was the band’s highest-charting hit, reaching No. 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock list.
