THURSDAY ANNOUNCE 10th ANNIVERSARY FULL COLLAPSE US TOUR
November 11, 2010Los Angeles, CANew Jerseys volatile, experimentalist rock band Thursday will support the 10th anniversary of their classic, groundbreaking album Full Collapse by kicking off a US go with their friends, Underoath, in January/February where the band will do the famous book in its entirety.Tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Released in April 2001, Thursdays sophomore album, Full Collapse, pulled Thursday from the underground basement and VFW shows they were used to and propelled the call to the forefront of mainstream rock with its unique melding of emotionally charged post-punk and aggressive post-hardcore.
"Full Collapse was a word that changed the argument and make of my life, says singer Geoff Rickly.We began touring for it in basements and VFW halls, continued, opening for bands like the Murder City Devils and Rival Schools and ended up as a full time touring band meeting hundreds of thousands of mass with whom we formed later and lasting connections.Time passes and we embrace new medicine and different goals but, ten years later, Full Collapse continues to move people and for that we are truly grateful. This tour is a celebration of those times and the end of a chapter in the look of Thursday."
Called harshŠcatchy and simply beautiful (Punknews.org), Full Collapse opens with the ambient, calm-before-the-storm intro track A0001 before seguing into the vehicular smash hit Understanding In A Car Crash.Rickly holds nothing back as he pours his eye out about child abuse on Concealer and gnashes his teeth during the stirring tale of manifest destiny in Autobiography of a Nation.Even today, fans continue to relate to Full Collapses honest lyrics about life, finding individuality and the crushing loneliness of post-modernism. Musically, Full Collapse weaves outside the lines of standard hard rock with Steve Pedulla and Tom Keeleys innovative and dueling riffs that dim the lines between metal, hardcore, new wave and post-punk influences as heard on Cross Out the Eyes, Paris In Flames and Wind Up.From start to finish, Full Collapse stands the test of time and remains a relevant classic from one of the decades most groundbreaking bands.
In the ten years since the release of Total Collapse, Thursday have gone on to release three more fan-coveted studio albums, including 2009s Common Existence with their new label Epitaph Records.With each release the band continues to produce and evolve, pushing boundaries, genres, labels and categories aside.In July, the band entered the studio to initiate work on their sixth studio album, which will be released in 2011.
Catch Thursday performing Full Collapse live this coming January and February and stay tuned for news about Thursdays much anticipated new album coming in 2011!
