Thursday Unveils New Video

As someone who used to be a massive Thursday fan (I'll still declare Full Collapse as one of my all-time favorite LPs), I'm rather disappointed with the band's latest clip for - the brilliantly titled - 'Ladies & Gentlemen: My Brother, The Failure'. The tune can be found on their new CD/DVD release, Kill The House Lights (more info here). Tell us what you think in the comments and enjoy their epic track, 'Cross Out The Eyes', at bottom of post.

NEW DVD / CD

Thursday Is Victorious Yet Again

The last time we checked in with Thursday, they were label-less and loving it, following a dispute with major label, Island, back in March. Now, four months later, the screamo originators are back on their toes, teaming up with Victory - their former (indie) label that released the band's stunning debut LP, Full Collapse back in '01.

A new CD/DVD package is set for release this October featuring 'live performances, backstage footage, interviews, making-of featurettes and a photo gallery—all of it spanning the breadth of the band's decade-long career. The audio companion will feature three brand new songs accompanied by a selection of live cuts and b-sides.'

For official statements from Victory's head and the band itself, head over to this article over at CMJ.com. Let's hope this is a harbinger for a return to form for the quintet. Their early work is still breathtaking after all these years.

Thursday Enjoying Their Freedom

The screamoholics leave major label, Island, and are unsure of what the next step will be.

Billboard reports: Rock outfit Thursday has left Island Records, according to a post on its MySpace.com site. "It was a difficult decision and it took us the better part of six months to come to an agreement with the label but now that we have both of us are very happy with how things have turned out," the band writes.

Thursday's Island debut, 2003's "War all the Time," had sold 364,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. But last year's "A City by the Light Divided" has shifted just 132,000 to date. The group signed with the label after an angry split from Victory, which issued its 2001 breakthrough, "Full Collapse."

"We have not decided where this new record will be released yet," the post says. "Although we've had several wonderful offers already, we're just enjoying our freedom for now."
