Circa Survive/Thrice/Chon/Balance and Composure

Singer-guitarist Dustin Kensrue and guitarist Teppei Teranishi founded the hard rock band Thrice nearly a decade ago while they were in high school. The group tempered its hardcore tendencies with odd time signatures and the kind of esoteric lyrics that turned bands like Thursday in post-hardcore heroes. After a short hiatus, the band reunited in 2015 and released To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere in 2016. The current tour with the like-minded Circa Survive will be the band’s last set of shows before returning to the studio to start recording its tenth album. (Niesel)
