So this band reminds me of Memphis May Fire. Yeah, I saw them around, but never listened as they never landed on anything Christian related that I saw. Until maybe 10 years ago for both bands. Thrice is very well known obviously so I started to listen to their back discogs. They got some great stuff & this is my face from them, but please check out their other stuff. And yes, their songs are in the mainstream. Also, Check out their vocalists Dustin’s solo stuff
shame that lead singer Dustin Kensrue turned his back on the faith, a look at his twitter page seem to imply that he’s not goin back to it either
Mmmm nope he’s still a Christian I don’t know what you are on about. He believes a liberal Christian theology known as Process Theology, but he is a Christian.
I wasn’t the author or a commenter here until just now (I blame covid for messing up my last 2 weeks). I’ve always enjoyed the music of Dustin and the other Thrice members.

I, like many others, enjoy Thrice musically – but I do grieve as well.
I like what you said here Casey. I’m very much pro-scripture and 100% Christian. I don’t need to deconstruct or make excuses for my Faith to fit the narrative of other peoples stereotypes and shortcomings. The word of God is not a prop or trophy you put on the wall. It is our road map for the life we are supposed to lead. There is a lot of music I enjoy and of course not all of it is defined as “Christian” music. I do have issues listening to some groups who go out of their way to apologize for… Read more »
seeing thrice being compared to MMF is weird. MMF doesn’t hold a candle to thrice’s music and lyrics.
