I'm wondering if there are any Thrice fans here? They play a variety of stuff, from post-hardcore on older albums to a new experimental rock/alternative sound on recent ones. Their latest album "Major/Minor" came out a few weeks ago. A very good band.
I love this band so much! Vheissu, Alchemy Index Vol. III, TAITA, Illusion of Safety...actually all of them are excellent. Even Identity Crisis has its moments, haha.
I like Thrice a lot. I was thuroughly impressed with Beggars. I actually just picked up Major/Minor today (via CD. I think I'm the only person who still does this). I like that they're very raw, but they're actually good musicians. They don't use it as an excuse to play poorly. Also, they seem to have a lot of jazz/blues influence (mostly in their newer albums), which I like.
