Thursday's Taste Of Chaos Set Suffers

This was the second last show on the two-month Taste Of Chaos tour, but you'd never know it by the calibre of energy and excitement that all five bands brought to the stage. The tour focuses on hardcore/screamo music, but the crowd focused on fashion. I saw young girls restraightening their hair in the washroom between sets, which is...

Thursday/Envy — Split

Thursday's four songs are the stronger portion of this split, mainly because they're the best four songs the band have ever recorded. "As He Climbed The Dark Mountain" and "An Absurd And Unrealistic Dream Of Peace" are both songs you'd expect from Thursday, but have an added experimental edge. And "In Silence" and...

Video Of The Day: Thursday's "Magnets Caught In A Metal Heart"

Thursday's gorgeous and dark video for No Devolucion's "Magnets Caught In A Metal Heart" takes place in some kind of town made of animated paper cutouts. It sees the band playing on top of a power plant, trying to avoid falling bombs, a very evil looking woman with krinkly hair and Geoff Rickly crawling on top of a train. The darker side of...

Thursday Make Up For Last Time

Considering Thursday's previous disastrous stint in Toronto, I was surprised they were coming back so soon, especially on a bill so jam-packed with talented movers in the punk rock and hardcore scenes. Los Angeles' Endless Hallway, an ambitious, risk-taking glam-infused post-punk band, were the first to take the stage. The band use their...

Thursday's Uncomfortable Position

It didn't seem that long ago when New Jersey's Thursday would sell out venues and pack mosh pits. Nowadays, kids are leaving gigs early, and it's particularly bittersweet considering that Thursday may have become one of those bands whose time has come and gone. The word "pioneer" has been getting thrown around with increasing...

Pumping: Thursday — Common Existence

Thursday really should do away with the screaming parts. They're childish. They're much better when they're trying to do this Dismemberment Plan/Muse/less-retarded Mars Volta thing.
