Thrice reveal album title, release date

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 6/15/09 @ 1:08 PM - altpress.com

Vagrant quartet Thrice have officially announced that their upcoming sixth studio album will be called Beggars and that the self-produced album is scheduled for release in October. If you've been following Thrice on Twitter, you've been receiving constant updates from the band. Frontman Dustin Kensrue had this to say about Beggars:

"I think we are at most times deluded in thinking that we are totally responsible for our circumstances, but in the end almost everything is beyond our control to a high degree and we can't even be sure we will wake up tomorrow. Whether you believe that God created you for a purpose, or that the world is governed by blind chance, everything in life is a gift at its core; we are beggars all."

Thrice will spend a decent chunk of the summer playing dates on Warped Tour.
