But the time has come for Dustin Kensrue, Eddie Breckenridge, Teppei Teranishi, and Riley Breckenridge to start pinching themselves, because it's true. To their record- ing label 70,000 is a good number, but there's room for improvement. To Thrice, well, they are just happy to be where they are. The band started out on the indie-label Sub City Records, which is an offshoot of Hopeless Records. Their first release with Sub City, "Identity Crisis," was a sign of what fans would expect from the band. It also served to form a lasting relationship with the label. Proof of that is evident on the back of their new CD, it bears the logo of Island Records and the insignia of Sub City Records beside it. "The Artist in the Ambulance" is a perfect blend of powerful, yet radio-friendly anthems. The lyrics are lined with notes from the recording session for each song — something I have never seen before. This record is also a huge step up from the 2002 Sub City Records release, "The Illusion of Safety" and illustrates how the band went from a great local sounding band to a full-fledged genre leader. Old Thrice fans might need a few listens before totally accepting this CD, but it will definitely make its way to your CD player, and will have trouble leaving it. Check Thrice out when they hit the Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Nov. 17 with Thursday, and Coheed & Cambria.
