Thrice

Almost exactly 20 years ago, Thrice released "The Artist In The Ambulance", one of the most groundbreaking albums of post hardcore and emo. The Californians struck a nerve with this record and forged a new musical path. The band itself doesn't quite see it that way, having reinvented itself as often as it has recorded records over the course of its long career. This also applies, for example, to the impressively complex and yet completely clear "Horizons / East" from 2021 and will also apply to its successor "Horizons / West", which has already been announced. But in the meantime, Thrice celebrate anniversaries as they fall: Last year, they were with us and put 20 years of "The Illusion of Safety" at the center of their shows, followed (slightly delayed) by the tour around their masterpiece and major debut next February. But the fact is that Thrice themselves were never really satisfied with this album. When they listen to it today, says singer and guitarist Dustin Kensrue, it's not at all the sound they had imagined. "Oh my gosh, it's so stiff," he recently told the music magazine Spin. At the time, they had no idea how they could have captured their live energy on record. Thrice briefly thought about releasing a remix album, but didn't want to change the music too much. "It's like going back and changing 'Star Wars'. Everyone would say 'What are you doing? No! I was so used to it'." That's why the boys simply re-recorded the album and released it under the title "The Artist In The Ambulance - Revisited". With guest features from friends such as Ryan Osterman (Holy Fawn), Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music), Sam Carter (Architects), Mike Minnick (Curl Up and Die), Brian McTernan (Be Well) and Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra), the Americans have given the album the sound they had in mind after 20 years and several live performances of the songs - changed just enough to make it sound new, but you often can't quite work out why. What is certain is that Thrice's anniversary shows will be a blast.

Thrice have always managed to add the icing on the cake to their exciting sound on stage. With their special guests from Copenhagen post-metal band Town Portal, every single show promises to be an opulent experience.
