Thrice launches "Vheissu" podcast

Posted by aubin on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 at 12:55 PM (EDT)

Thrice has launched the first podcast with song samples, an interview and commentaries for their upcoming full length Vheissu. The album is the band's sophomore release for Island and follow up to The Artist in the Ambulance as well as their recent DVD+CD release If We Could Only See Us Now.

The podcast includes portions of three songs and is the first of four podcasts. The next three will be posted on September 27th, October 4th and October 11th respectively.

You can check out Chapter 1 here [direct link.]

The band previously released a DRM-restricted track with only a portion of the single, "Image of the Invisible" playable until 100,000 listeners have downloaded the portion. As of this posting, the track can be heard in its entirety. Also released over the past few weeks was a myspace stream and a registration-required streaming track.

The album is due out October 18th and the band has enlisted Underoath, The Bled and Veda for the support tour that will visit the US and Canada.

you can tell that most people are still pissed about the 100,000 download and DRM stuff because they never fail to mention it in a Thrice posting. Hopefully this will be better than the Mark Hoppus podcast

The only reason I mention it, it because it shows how many promotional things the band/label are doing for this album. They're really pushing it hard and they're really trying everything possible to get out there.

colin (September 20, 2005)

yeah, it's kind of bothersome. thrice has come plenty far with little to no promotion. tihs all seems a bit ridiculous.

Someone (September 20, 2005)

you think their last album had little to no promotion??? wake up, man

colin (September 20, 2005)

i never remember there being 100,000 download singles and all that.

Kenjamin (September 20, 2005)

probably because they thought it would take off without all this lame shit. Oh how they were wrong.

Someone (September 20, 2005)

I dont think coming somewhat close to gold is all that bad.

Kenjamin (September 20, 2005)

hmmm i had no idea that it got close to gold. Still, that's not a "smash hit" in major label standards. 40 years ago yes, but no longer.

thrice guitar sound like ass

gladimnotemo (September 20, 2005)

I'm definately not a fan of this band, but I don't understand pushing all this new techonology for promotion. Yeah, podcasts are unique and everything, but I'm sure fans would rather here one or two FULL SONGS than "commentaries", clips, snips, and hype.

Someone (September 20, 2005)

they've released two FULL SONGS already...this is extra

Someone (September 20, 2005)

I'm sure fans would love to have the full album in their hands now too, oh darn.

Dante3000 (rich) (September 20, 2005)

Wow...I have a feeling Island may not have been too pleased with sales of Artist (though I don't know because it may have sold millions for all I know). But it just seems like this album is getting the living shit hyped out of it. I mean I like a good deal of Thrice's but this is just insane. I guess they're just going after a lot of cheap promotion, since I'd imagine most of the web based stuff is a good deal cheaper than videos, posters and promo CD's. But I just don't care enough to take part in all these schemes. -Dante

apparently they love this over at AP.net. that really worries me, i mean if you're saying this is album of the year and Jacks Mannequin is #2 i can't really trust your taste. that being said i loved "Illusion of Saftey" and i'll gve this a chance.

Someone (September 20, 2005)

haha, good point. Considering the last album went gold or close to gold, I don't think they are disappointed in sales of "Artist in the Ambulance". And yes, internet marketing is a *little* cheaper since things posted on punknews, myspace, and ap.net is free compared to spending 60k on a half-way decent video or several thousand on posters.

Someone (September 20, 2005)

363,000 copies of their last CD were sold.

Someone (September 21, 2005)

Jack`s Mannequin is really bad shit ... oh wait, not bad, but just the stuff my mom is happy lestening to ... and ap can suck my dick, they represent everything that`s wrong with punkrock!!! AP go to hell and take all your myspace kids with you ...

AlmostPunkEnough (September 21, 2005)

someone told me that it doesn't sound like something corporate, even though it's the main dude. i saw the video on fuse the other day, and i swear if it hadn't said jack's mannequin, i would have bet anything it was something corporate.

Someone (September 20, 2005)

for anyone who cares, they also updated their website

Someone (September 20, 2005)

only 18 comments..hahah thrice, everyone is tired of your marketing scams and bullshit. i really think the way they are going about this is going to hurt sales

"they" are probably the record label. Think.

leftoverbud (September 21, 2005)

no whats gonna hurt sales is that fact that I, and you, and everyone else on this board will go and fucking download that album. And then we'll burn the shit out of thsoe files. oh yes baby fucking free cd and we don't buy shit but t-shirts for some reason. cause were cool probably.

Someone (September 21, 2005)

Stop abusing my primary language like that. Please.

Someone (September 21, 2005)

This band blows hard they should tour with hawthorne heights and play at the mall.

Someone (September 21, 2005)

Or perhaps you should shut up, do your research and find out, there are no similartities between HH and Thrice ... try google or something ...

Someone (September 21, 2005)

agreed.

Someone (September 21, 2005)

saw these guys last night in london. it was amazing. the only downside was they didnt play any songs off identity crisis. ps. its good to see a band that doesnt care about scene bullshit fashion, and just look like regular guys on stage.

Someone (September 22, 2005)

anyone remember the last time they ever played anything off identity crisis?

Someone (September 25, 2005)

when i saw them in Tucsan, AZ with poison the well and darkest hour they played phoenix ignition because we had some people holding signs and screaming phoenix ignition about ten thousand f@&#ing times they finally said allright we will play for those guys over there it was soo badass
