Thrice

My favorite band of all time is Thrice. I know they always will be as well, because no band has ever meant more to my life than Thrice. This four piece from California started off as a simple punk band and has evolved into a band that defies any label. I feel as the band's sound has changed and grown with me as the years have gone on. I've had the pleasure to meet them and they genuinely nice and kind individuals. They are very connected to their fans with a very interactive website, that they run themselves. I'll never forget when a friend of mine who worked at a FYE put Thrice's
"Artist in the ambulance" in my hand and said "Listen to this, it's amazing." Oh how right he was. Before Thrice, I was never really that into music. I just listened to what came on the radio and didn't too actively seek out music. Thrice changed all that. I wanted to know all I could about this amazing band. They had these amazingly dense liner notes with their cd, detailing the creation of each song on the album. I'd never seen a band take such care with just creating liner notes. Thrice also opened me up to new kinds of music and I credit them for my wide tastes in music today. Thrice are my beatles, and I can't wait to one day share them with children and grandchildren
