The Profile

Thrice is an American rock band from Irvine, California, known for moving from early hardcore/punk and post-hardcore into broader alternative rock and experimental directions across their albums.

Publicly known: formed in Irvine, California; commonly associated with post-hardcore and alternative rock; lineup is widely recognized as including Dustin Kensrue, Teppei Teranishi, and the brothers Eddie and Riley Breckenridge; active since the late 1990s and released multiple studio albums including The Artist in the Ambulance, Vheissu, Beggars, and Major/Minor.

Across these reviews, Thrice are consistently framed as a Californian band defined by evolution: from hardcore/punk roots to post-hardcore peaks, then into alternative rock, post-rock textures, and concept-album experimentation. Vheissu and Major/Minor are repeatedly praised for ambition and songwriting, while The Artist in the Ambulance is treated as a genre landmark. The Alchemy Index is highlighted for its four-elements concept and stylistic range. Even when specific albums get criticism, reviewers still emphasize the band’s maturity and refusal to repeat themselves.
