Fixed a bunch of broken links for basically everything (mailing list, mp3 links), added links to Ross' new band (Bedford Academy), and added a new buying option for Payback Soundtrack; save a few bucks by not getting the jewel case (comes with the CD and full artwork).

I've finally added content to the audio section. Much thanks to Craig from NBrock.net for supplying mp3s for all of the old TTS releases. Some of the sections still don't have much content, so be sure to contribute anything you think is appropriate for those sections (you'll get credit for anything that you submit to the site).

So this site was originally designed back in April '05 shortly after the release of PAYBACK SOUNDTRACK, intended as the new official site. Since then a lot has happened, obviously, and i'd like to keep this site up as a Thrift Syndicate archive site. Anybody who has photos, mp3s, video, wallpapers, AIM icons - literally ANYTHING that could go on this site, get in touch with me via email and we'll see about getting it posted!

Everybody should check out a new project from ROSS called Sweater Weather. It's a lot different from TTS, but very cool and worth checking out a few times or more. As an added bonus, Mike Greely be playin' bass for them!

All reports indicate that the last show was a blast. Because of BEN KINDBERG >:O i was unable to attend the show, and missed out on the whole ordeal. If anybody has some audio/pics/video from the show that i can throw up on this site, send me an email. I guess that's all she wrote for this chapter of Thrift, but nobody's ruling out a reunion show or two!

Hey cuties,
THE THRIFT SYNDICATE has broken up. We owe special thanks to a number of people who helped us out during the time we were a band. So..thanks!! I am still very close to all the guys and this break has not ruined any friendships. We are still not sure of when a last show will be. If we are asked to play one (depending on the situation) we would love to do it one more time. All of us are going to continue playing music and well... that's pretty nice! So be on the lookout for new projects from your friends that were once THRIFT. Oh yeah... here's something to read from Caleb over at ERICROCK...THANKS AGAIN.

It's finally almost here. PAYBACK SOUNDTRACK is dropping on march 8th. In celebrating its release, we will be playing a CD release show on the 5th in our wonderful hometown(city) of New Bedford. We are all very excited to finally get this thing out. The show is gonna rock hard, and i mean it. All of the bands are amazing and it will prove to be a memorable night. We would love for you all to come and celebrate with us and our friends. Make sure you check out our purevolume and myspace pages to hear 2 tracks from the album. We played at The Call last week and it was tons of fun. Rooftop rocked (as usual) and the place was awesome, including the sound system. We have a few other shows coming up in the next weeks so make sure to check out our tour page. thats pretty much it for now. thanks to everyone who has been helping us spread the word about the album and our band, and listening to our songs online. you are all truly awesome, and words cant say how thankful all five of us are.

Letterday rocked as usually, and make sure you check them out this sat. at the new wave. We have had alot going on with TTS lately. We have a new song titled "Give My Regards To Paradise" from our upcoming cd titled PAYBACK SOUNDTRACK out 3/1 on ERICROCK. The track is up on Purevolume and on Myspace.
