## Resource

How does a band stay together—with the exact same lineup—for over 25 years? Dustin Kensrue of Thrice gets into the shared values and mellow personalities that have kept the band a drama-free constant for fans since 1998. He discusses why Thrice has always prioritized making music for themselves, not for trends, and gives a look inside their writing process, from organizing over 400 voice memos in Asana to how re-recording 'The Artist in the Ambulance' brought old instincts back into their new music.
