Every Friday the punk rock geniuses here at Dying Scene are going to unleash a little bit of punk scene trivia all over your asses. Today’s “fun factoid” is about a little known EP from a well know band.
Whether you’re a punk rock elitist, hardcore loyalist or an indie rock enthusiast, chances are there’s at least one Thrice album you’re a fan of. Obviously the indie lovers skew toward the newer releases while the punk fanatics go for Illusions of Safety or their debut full-length Identity Crisis, but there’s one more release that the punk lovers should know about. The band’s original EP titled First Impressions is a glorious piece of Thrice history that is relatively unknown. It was released in 1998 on Hopeless Records and features seven tracks which include an early version of T&C that would later be remastered and released on Identity Crisis. This recording has long been out of print but if you’re lucky enough to own it you know its more in the vein of 90’s skate punk than the other albums. The artwork and track listing can be seen here.
