This week's BotW is Thrice. I chose them first because I have been listening to them a lot recently. Thrice is an interesting band. They started out as a straight-up punk band, but over the years their sound has evolved into a more post-punk type sound. I like both their older stuff and their new stuff, but I have to admit I discovered Thrice when they had already made the switch to the post-punk genre. My favorite album by Thrice is probably The Artist in the Ambulance which is their last real punk album before they started their switch to post-punk with Vheissu, which is another solid album. After Vheissu, they released The Alchemy Index, which is a collection of four EPs each with a different theme based on the four elements: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. It's a very interesting concept, but honestly I haven't had the chance to listen to all of the songs. Thrice's latest album Beggars continues with their new progressive sound, and adds a kind of bluesy feel to some of the songs. Over all Thrice is a great band and has something to offer for almost everyone.

About my blog
Welcome to my blog. I plan on using this blog to let the world know about some of the cool stuff that I like. Also, because I like music so much, I plan on selecting a "Band of the Week" and writing about it every Thursday (hopefully). These bands will be selected by me mostly at random. They probably won't be selected because they won some award, but because I have been listening to them a lot or just because I like them. I will probably post my thoughts on some other cool things throughout the week as well.
