Thursday (band)
American post-hardcore band
Thursday is an American post-hardcore band formed in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1997. The band consists of Geoff Rickly (lead vocals), Tom Keeley (lead guitar, backing vocals), Steve Pedulla (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Tim Payne (bass), and Tucker Rule (drums).
The band's debut album Waiting (1999) featured original guitarist Bill Henderson, who left in 2000 and was replaced by Pedulla. Thursday gained popularity with their second album Full Collapse (2001), and the band's major-label debut War All the Time (2003) debuted at number 7 on the US Billboard 200. The band released A City by the Light Divided (2006), Common Existence (2009) and No Devolución (2011) before announcing an indefinite hiatus following Australian tour dates in 2012, which Rickly later confirmed was a full disbandment.
Thursday reunited in 2016, touring for the next few years and breaking up again in 2019. In 2020, Thursday announced another reunion at Chicago's Riot Fest in 2021.[7] In 2024, the band released "Application fo

Thursday
For the last thirteen years, Thursday has been in a constant state of transition. Rising from New Brunswick, NJ, in the midst of a DIY basement culture revival, they seemed out of step with the traditional hardcore of their peers. Favoring jagged post-punk rhythms over metallic breakdowns and quoting from Neil Young and post-modern poet, Michael Palmer, instead of Henry Rollins and Noam Chomsky, the band always seemed at odds with the awkwardly applied label of "post-hardcore pioneers". With this starting point, they set out wildly to find their place in the world: touring with everyone from the Cure to Cursive, continually expanding and refining their musical vocabulary. Finally, with No Devolución, the transition feels complete: Thursday have arrived at a place like home.
When Thursday (fronted by singer Geoff Rickly, guitarists Tom Keeley and Steve Pedulla, bassist Tim Payne, drummer Tucker Rule and keyboardist Andrew Everding) released Full Collapse it defined a genre, signaled a change of the guard and started a backlash all at once. SPIN hailed the band as "T

Thursday was a "screamo" band from New Jersey, fronted by screaming vocalist Geoff Rickly and featuring guitarists Steve Pedulla and Tom Keeley. Waiting (1999) and especially Full Collapse (2001), with the catchy Understanding in a Car Crash, Standing on the Edge of Summer and How Long is the Night, displayed a virulent strand of emocore, highlighted by the vocalist's passion and by a uniform mood of despair.
The somber mood of the September 11 terrorist attacks permeated War All the Time (2003), that featured new keyboardist Andrew Everding and pointed towards a more extroverted sound, basically transposing the intimate angst of the first two albums into the collective psyche (This Song Brought to You By a Falling Bomb, Division St).
Longer and more complex songs, and a shiny production, transformed the band's sound on A City By The Light Divided (2006), separating the strands of epos (Counting 5-4-3-2-1), aggression (At This Velocity) and atmosphere (Running from the Rain). The last four songs (Telegraph Aven
