thriceThe band has been on hiatus since 2012 but the guys will be back on stage soon. “Thrice never disbanded, I tried to be super clear about it, like this is an actual hiatus,” said Thrice frontman Dustin Kensrue on the latest #63 episode of the BadChristian Podcast, launched on February 22, 2015. “We’re gonna’ be—at the least—playing some shows this year.” Several festivals have already been confirmed to feature Thrice’s performance: New Jersey’s Skate and Surf Fest in May, Quebec’s Amnesia Rockfest in June, and Folkestone, UK’s Hevy Music Festival in August.

In the podcast Thrice frontman also talks about his upcoming solo record, Carry The Fire, which comes out on April 21st, and his resignation from Christian church Mars Hill.
