The Modern Post (Dustin Kensrue of Thrice's new band) hit number 10 on Billboard Heatseekers chart this past week with Grace Alone. Hit the replies for the full press release.

Thrice will release their Anthology set on October 30th.

Dustin's posted an explanation on twitter about his new project, The Modern Post.

From the Post

The reason I want to make this clear, is that it would be sad to think that some of you would think that I am "going Christian," meaning, making poor music just for Christians, and ceasing to make music that engages with culture at large. I assure you that I hate the Christian art ghetto more than most, if not all of you. As I see it, Christians should make good art, that shows forth truth and beauty for all, or make art that is for a specific purpose within the church. Making subpar cheesy art for Christians to consume comfortably is a tragedy for everyone.

Check out our interview with Thrice here.

From The Interview

As far as the lyrics are concerned, I've always wanted Dustin to sing about what mattered to him. You want a vocalist/frontman to be truly passionate about what he/she is singing about; if they aren't passionate about it, it's very easy to see though in a lot of cases. Even if I don't agree with his worldview, or if I'm not a Calvinist, I don't think it matters. I've been happy to play in this band for years, and I want him to sing about what matters to him, and that's the bottom line.

Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem has written a blog in support of Dustin Kensrue (Thrice).

From The Blog

I guess I’m gonna have to change this blog’s name to "Sticking Up For People.com."

So Mr. Duston Kensrue feels led by The Lord to leave Thrice and play worship music. Awesome. I love that he’s doing that.

I understand some Thrice fans might be bummed that they broke up, but bands do that from time to time and it happens. You have to keep in mind that it’s not your band. These people have lives that are more important than the thing they do that we love and admire. Real life happens to people in the spotlight.

In this article, Dustin Kensrue discusses why his family is moving to Bellevue and how he felt he was called to dedicate himself to playing worship music. Thrice played its final show last week.

From the Article

Over the last few years God, continued to give me a bigger and bigger vision of what I eventually I’m called to do, and given me the audacious goal of shaking things up in worship music culture and the church at large. I have a passion to see more songs that are 1) more cross/Christ-centered, and also 2) engage the culture directly, rather than endlessly recycling the Christian subculture. Despite my fears at failing and my doubts in my abilities, I am firmly convinced that this...
