Thrice have announced that they will go on hiatus following their spring 2012 tour.
Frontman Dustin Kensrue commented, “Thrice is not breaking up. If nothing has broken us up by now, I doubt anything ever could. However, we will be taking a break from being a full-time band, and the upcoming tour in the Spring will be the last one for the foreseeable future.
During the band’s infancy in the late 90s, Thrice would perform at any shows they could get. “We played at a SeaWorld [parking lot],” guitarist Teppei Teranishi laughs, speaking candidly in the green room of Los Angeles’ Mayan Theater. “We had to turn our amps down. We were literally told that we were scaring the whales.”
A Polaris At Noon remix of the Thrice track “Words In The Water” can be streamed below courtesy of MTV.com.

Thrice’s album Major/Minor is streaming in full on AOL Music.
The album hits stores tomorrow, September 20th, through Vagrant.
