Thrice Goes Grunge on New Album

Thrice will be quietly releasing their eighth studio album this year. After switching over from Island Records to Vagrant in 2007, the band released a collection of four EPs as two separate albums, The Alchemy Index Vols. I & II in 2007 and The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV in 2008. They followed it up with Beggars in 2009, and are now set to release Major/Minor in September. In a recent interview with AP, singer Dustin Kensrue suggested the new record would lean more grunge, saying the album is “definitely going to be a little bit bigger and in-your-face than Beggars was. It definitely has some elements of underground ‘90s grunge–like chord turns and some of that dirtiness.”
