Thrice, who played MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on June 22, 2017.

Ford Amp, old Gary, whatever you call it (it's actually the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, people!), our friends at Cigar City Radio were there last Thursday as Southern California post-hardcore Thrice prepped for a support set on a national tour with Deftones and Rise Against.

The Cigar City boys — Randy Ojeda and Jason Solanes — caught up with drummer Riley Breckenridge, who was kind enough to talk about the band's 20-year history, devoted fans and new music. He even discussed (without really discussing) a repress of Thrice's Alchemy Index.

"We do [have plans]. We will be announcing something of that sort," Breckenridge said with hestitation. "We can't say when."

Breckenridge even talked about his days in the corporate world (selling suits sucks), plus baseball podcasts and grindcore bands (Productive Outs, Puid Destroyer).

Listen to the episode below, and get caught up on what you've been missing here.
