THURSDAY formed in 1997 and played their first official show on New Year’s Eve, 1998 in singer Geoff Rickly’s basement w/ friends Midtown, Saves the Day, and Poison the Well. Since then, THURSDAY has gone on to become one of the most important and prestigious bands in all of underground music today.
After releasing critically acclaimed albums on the likes of Eyeball, Victory, and Island Records (three of which, Full Collapse, War All The Time, and A City By The Light Divided, saw the band reach commercial success w/ large sales numbers and high rankings on America’s Billboard Charts – as of this year the band broke 1 million records sold), and touring relentlessly w/ the likes of AFI, Thrice, Coheed and Cambria, The Cure, and more, THURSDAY recently went on to release their first DVD collection, Kill The House Lights in October 2007.
Now, ten years after the band’s inception, THURSDAY is setting their sites on their latest upcoming release: a split EP w/ Japanese atmospheric-thrash band, Envy, to be released sometime this summer on the Temporary Residence label (Explosions in the Sky, Mono, Young Widows).
In an exclusive interview airing RIGHT NOW, Geoff Rickly sits down w/ Buzznet.com’s Will Angelos to talk about the making of the upcoming EP, the current state of underground music, THURSDAY side project activity (listen up kids!), and much more revealing information.
