Thrice announced their plans to go on an indefinite hiatus a few weeks ago, and now drummer Riley Breckenridge has written up an article discussing his time before the band began touring and now his undecided future. You can read the full article here and a snippet of what Riley had to say regarding Thrice coming to a close and his future below by clicking “Read More”.

And now…now it’s gone. “The band thing” as I’ve come to know it over the past thirteen years, is done. The touring, the writing and recording, the dream that became a career, all…done. Maybe for a while. Maybe for good. It’s not really my choice to make.

So now, on the heels of turning 37, I’m back where I was at 25. Nervous. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Still concerned that I’m not married, with kids, with home. Still armed with the useless English degree, and still dreading the conversations in which I have to justify my existence to the doubters (one of whom, depending on the type of day I’m having) might be myself.

But this time around, it’s not quite as bad. Because if there’s one thing the past thirteen years have taught me, it’s that you never know which direction life is going to pull you. If you close a door because you think it’s not good enough for everyone else, you’ll never get to where you’re supposed to be.  And where you’re supposed to be won’t always be where you think you’re going.
