Thursday

[POST HARDCORE] To some, Thursday is the quintessential post-hardcore screamo band. There’s a never-ending debate for those of us who spent our early teen years going to shows at Town Ballroom wearing band tees and too much eyeliner, comparing the stylistically similar Taking Back Sunday to Thursday—and maybe even to Brand New and Senses Fail and the rest of them—on who encapsualtes the sound the best. Thursday kind of started it all in some ways, forming in 1997 with Joy Division—the late 1970s English post-punk band—as one of their main influences. They went on to record six studio albums from 1997 to 2011 and are credited with being one of the key bands to popularize screamo as a genre. The last of their studio albums, No Devolución, was actually recorded in Fredonia, but unfortunately they broke up shortly thereafter, citing personal issues. Frontman Geoff Rickly ran a label (Collect Records) after the band broke up while drummer Tucker Rule toured with Yellowcard. As a huge shock to their fans, they recently (and quite randomly) reunited for Georgia’s Wrecking Ball music fest in 2016 and announced a tour in January of this year. Rickly confessed in a recent interview that he “never thought it would happen.” No word yet on whether or not they’ll be recording music again, but catch them together again while you can, this Sunday, June 25 at the Town Ballroom with mewithoutYou and Big Jesus.
