Sometimes inspiration comes from the most obvious of places… Last week, Thrice’s new album – titled The Artist In The Ambulance – hit the streets. Get a chance to check it out yet? There are some pretty cool liner notes in the package. Around here, one can’t help but notice the notes the band wrote on the writing of the track “Under A Killing Moon.” Drummer Riley tells, “This is what happens when Teppei (guitar) remembers that he likes metal.” Teppei writes, “I remember I wrote both those riffs (in the song) on days I drove to practice listening to Killswitch Engage…I guess it shows.” Hear new KsE material at www.roadrun.com/freddyvsjason
