This shrine is for my beloved band - Thursday. Ever since I first heard
the opening to Understanding In A Car Crash a few years ago I have been
obsessed and I have since been lucky enough to see them live, twice :)
Regarded as one of the trailblazers for the early 2000s post-hardcore sound, Thursday
formed in 1997 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. At the turn of the century, they blew up with 2001's Full Collapse and proceeded to make four other life changing records before breaking up in 2012. Fortunately for Thursfans, Thursday would reunite in 2019 and have since released a couple of new singles.
A piece of fun Thursday trivia is that their front-man Geoff Rickly was one of the biggest names in the 2000s New-Jersey basement scene. He produced My Chemical Romance's first album and hosted bands such as Midtown and Poison the Well in his basement. Pretty cool, huh.
I could go on about my fave Thursday songs forever, so here's a few in no particular order: M. Shepard, Panic On The Streets of Health Care City, Jet Black New Year
, Dying In New Brunswick, Asleep In The Chapel and Turnpike Divides. My favourite album of theirs is War All The Time but all of their releases are very special to me.
Your song is:
Waiting (1999)
Full Collapse (2001)
War All The Time (2003)
A City By The Light Divided (2006)
Common Existence (2008)
No Devolución (2011)
