And then suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out and they started just falling thirty-thousand feet
The pilot's on the microphone and he's saying 'I'm sorry, oh my god, I'm sorry' and apologizing and she looks at the man and she says…
Tonight we release our first song in 13 years. It’s our first release in 25 years WITHOUT a record label. That’s 25 years since we set out in a small white van to play basements and VFW Halls — attics, kitchens and back yards — with a bunch of burned CDRs marked in black Sharpie:
Thursday’s longevity is INSANE when you really think of it. People born in 1997 have graduated high school AND college. Thursday has been around since they were born and they’re STILL dominating the game at the top. 🐐👑
We’ve gained 400 followers since the day that Max tweeted this and got the follow button unlocked. To anyone who doubts the power of the blender man, think again. And yes. We like the heart in the blender song.
Horror unfolding in KY legislative body. The moral panic around Trans people having health care and basic human rights is a stain that history won’t wash away. To the legislators pushing HB470, know that your grandchildren will try to hide your legacy from their friends.
🏳️⚧️🕊️
Happening now: a crowd chants shame at the committee in KY that just passed HB470, which combines several anti trans bills into one. Bans name changes. Gender markers. Medical care.
I have been told they may be trying to rush the bill to the house for passage right this moment.
We have started the process of turning appropriate stock merchandise from our web store into fabric face masks for frontline medical workers and essential personnel. Further information how you can help will follow later in the week. Stay safe, stay connected and stay inside!
Today marks the 20th Anniversary of our landmark album, Full Collapse. This record changed our lives and we are so grateful to all of you who have made this record a part of yours.
I remember the first time I heard this demo, I was shocked. I played it over and over in the
@thursdayband
van and called
@mikeyway
and
@gerardway
to say I wanted to produce the album. Still love this track with a deep personal attachment. —- Geoff
Really wanted to run over to this but the shows were on at exactly the same time. Such a good local scene that our show was packed down the street and this show was so lit up. 🫡 Doing something right down there!
WAR ALL THE TIME live on tour with our old friends in RIVAL SCHOOLS (uncle

…
WE. CAN. NOT. WAIT.
What a way to kick off a 2024 with so many exciting things in store.
So real. 2003 was a big year for influential records. We are honored to have WAR ALL THE TIME on here and — damn —we’ve got stories about just about every record on this list. Might have to drop a remembrance thread. 🧵?
We spent the whole morning praying for all your souls to get My Chemical Romance tickets so that world peace might finally have a chance.
See you there. 🙏🏼❤️✌🏻
Lots of moving parts and changing venues, lineups, circumstances but we are very happy to get to play a free show with/for a bunch of our friends at the Sand Dollar Downtown in Vegas tonight. It’s our sound engineer’s birthday, so be real nice to him, if you see him. 😊✌🏻
The album was produced by
@thursdayband
vocalist Geoff Rickly, recorded at Nada Recording Studio in New York, May 2002.
In 2014 Nada Recording Studio shared never before seen footage from those recording sessions.

“When I was fifteen and went to the city, I was amazed at how much people talked and how much of that talk was pointless. And how much people talked about themselves—that was totally alien to me.” —Herta Müller

If we were out playing small shows right now, who would we see that would blow our minds. Not talking bands our age. The young ones!!! Who’s opening up the show and eclipsing everyone on the bill???

So cool that time has passed and now people fight over City vs Common Existence being our best album. Never would have guessed it at the time, we can tell you that!
Took me many years to appreciate it but I’m sure
