"Beggars" Available on iTunes August 11th

In an attempt to contain last week's leak of Thrice's Beggars, Vagrant Records will be releasing the album exclusively on iTunes on August 11th, two months earlier than planned. The physical version of Thrice's seventh album is still set to be released on October 13th, but with bonus material.

Thrice's "Beggars" Leaks Three Months Before Release

Right now, Thrice and their management must be boiling. Indeed, Beggars, the forthcoming album from the Californian art/experimental rock band, set to be released on October 13, has already leaked on file-sharing websites and torrents. It was apparently caused by unprotected copies sent to press for reviews. Someone at Vagrant Records will need to have convincing explanations about this...

Thrice Putting Out New Album This Fall

Dustin Kensrue, singer and guitarist from art rock/post-hardcore band Thrice, announced on the band's blog that they would be putting out a new album this autumn, probably in October.

"Hey everyone. All the tracking is finished for the new record. Though it still needs to be mixed and mastered. To everyone who is hoping for it to come out next month now, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but there is a lengthy process still ahead with production, sending out copies to press, shipping, etc. You have to send to press about 3 months early because that is how early they put together the issues. Sooo, the record will be out in early Octoberish.
Gonna start Warped practice on Monday. Hope to see some of you soon.
DK"

The new album, Beggars, should be released on Vagrant Records just like their latest concept album The Alchemy Index Vols. I & II and Vols. III & IV.
