History Music / Thursday

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: ranges from 6 to 7, with some songs going as low as 3 ("Magnets Caught in a Metal Heart").

* UncommonTime: "Steps Ascending" is still a [[CommonTime 4/4 song]], but switches up to 7/8 time in the middle of the song.

The recent announcement of several reunion shows has suggested that Thursday may be back together.

After splitting ways, members have joined other side projects while Geoff Rickly has toured solo (with some help from backing members and friends). [[http://geoffrickly.bandcamp.com/album/mixtape-1 He released his first mixtape (read: EP)]] in November 2012, and is now the lead singer of NoDevotion, with the members of The Music/{{Lostprophets}} who are not pedophiles.

** The line "[[NeilYoung the needle and the damage done]]" in "Understanding In a Car Crash".

Thursday were an AlternativeRock band from New Brunswick, UsefulNotes/NewJersey. They were one of the forefathers and TropeMakers of the 2000s Music/{{Emo}} scene, credited for influencing many bands and bringing the emotive hardcore genre into the 21st Century. They would later switch to a more AlternativeRock sound with a bit of {{Shoegazing}} and PostRock elements while keeping what would be their distinct sound. They unfortunately have broken up as of 2011, after releasing what some fans believed to be their MagnumOpus, ''No Devolución''.

* CarefulWithThatAxe: Very often. From Geoff, backing band members, or guest vocalists (either Tim from Music/RiseAgainst or Tom Schlatter from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgA3WY74q-M You and I]]).
* CallBack: "The Other Side of the Crash" tells of another viewpoint of "Understanding in a Car Crash".

* DrivenToSuicide: Many of their lyrics revolve around the concept of suicide, and their experiences with loved ones who fell to this. One line in "War All the Time" talks about one of their friend's older brother who fell off a cliff.

* TranslatedCoverVersion: Surprisingly averted with their cover of Music/SigurRos' "Ny Batteri". Geoff sings it as is.

* CreatorBreakdown: They have stated to have come close to breaking up dozens of times. It was particularly bad after they wrapped up recording for ''War All the Time'', but decided to stay together after touring like it was their last run.
** "Turnpike Divides" was written about Geoff's divorce.

* ExecutiveMeddling: A big reason they decided to jump ship from Victory Records to a major (Island) was because they resented a lot of the decisions their label made without their consent, from cutting out lyrics from the artwork to cut cost to [[WhatTheHellHero designing "Thursday whoopie cushions" with an intent to sell at Warped Tour.]]
** Though not as bad but to a lesser extent, Island Records.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: "Fuck You, I'm In Space" and "Hide From the Orchestra", two fan favorites made only available on limited fanclub vinyl. Only low-quality rips of both songs are floating on the net.

* CoverVersion: They had quite a few, including Negative Approach's "Evacuate", {{Buzzcocks}}' "Ever Fallen In Love" among others.

** And with his solo tour, Geoff has covered BruceSpringsteen's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbBTS5Tq5QI Atlantic City]]" and, bizarrely, Music/{{Usher}}'s "Climax" acoustic. The latter also appears on his mixtape.

* {{Joisey}}: The band is from New Brunswick. As you can tell from their lyrics, they're not too happy with their hometown. Especially evident in "Dying in New Brunswick" and "Counting 5-4-3-2-1".

* LiteraryAllusionTitle: The band, consisting of literature fans, has a lot of references in their lyrics. One of them, ''War All the Time'' is named after a CharlesBukowski poem.

* MagnumOpus: ''No Devolución'' or ''Full Collapse'' (which is one for the [[Music/{{Emo}} 2000s Post-Hardcore scene]]). Some would argue, to a lesser extent, ''A City by the Light Divided''.

** The music video for "Magnets Caught in a Metal Heart" recalls [[GermanExpressionism German Expressionist]] films such as TheCabinetOfDrCaligari and Film/{{Metropolis}} (also counts as a GeniusBonus).
* SignatureSong: "Understanding in a Car Crash".

* CarefulWithThatAxe: Geoff does it, but a lot of the screaming on ''Full Collapse'' is provided by Tom Schlatter, vocalist from another Hardcore band named [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgA3WY74q-M You and I]].
