A number of readers wrote in about the recent appearance of a full album stream on the band's <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thrice">myspace page</a>.

They also recently posted the fourth of their <a href="article.php?sid=13843">o ngoing</a> Podcast series which includes clips from tracks 10-11 and discussion from the band.

<br/><br/>
The video was directed by Jay Martin (Burning Brides, Eagles of Death
Metal) and the treatment for the clip was written by Thrice vocalist Dustin Kensrue, and based it on the <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0112682/"><i>City of Lost Children</i></a>

According to sources close to the the band, while the video was based on the fictional french film, it brought to the band's attention the plight of the children of Uganda, many of whom are kidnapped from their parents and forced to serve in the rebel armies currently in conflict with the government of the country. Consequently, the band will also be working with <a href="http://www.invisiblechildren.com">Inv isible Children</a>, a group which aims to end the barbaric practice.
<br/><br/>
The album is due out October 18th and the band has enlisted <a href="http://www.underoath777.com/">Underoath</a>, <a href="http://www.thebledsite.com/">The Bled</a> and <a href="http://www.weareveda.com/">Veda</a> for the support <a href="article.php?sid=13558">t our</a> that will visit the US and Canada.
