Thrice

Thrice, an American post-hardcore band, emerged from Irvine, California, in 1998. The group's enduring lineup features Dustin Kensrue on vocals and guitar, Teppei Teranishi on guitar and keyboards, Eddie Breckenridge on bass, and Riley Breckenridge on drums.

The band's initial foray into the music industry saw them sign with Sub City Records in 2000, releasing two LPs. While Identity Crisis (2000) garnered a modest reception, their sophomore effort, The Illusion of Safety (2002), achieved widespread acclaim and attracted the attention of major record labels. This album marked a significant shift towards a heavier metalcore sound, a departure from their earlier work, yet still retaining metal influences. The track "The Beltsville Crucible" specifically references the Maryland location where the album was recorded.
