Formed in New Brunswick, NJ in 1998 and with worldwide album sales in the millions, Thursday released six critically acclaimed albums from 1999-2011, including the pivotal and massively influential albums Full Collapse and War All The Time in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Renowned for having their finger on the pulse of the most creative strains of the culture, Thursday has a long history of touring with groundbreaking acts in tow, including early pivotal tours with The Gaslight Anthem, Portugal. The Man, Touché Amoré, Murder By Death, and My Chemical Romance (whose debut album was produced by Thursday frontperson Geoff Rickly). Notwithstanding, the band’s sonic diversity has given them the opportunity to share stages in the past, present, and (hopefully) future with luminaries stretching from Hatebreed to The Cure, illustrating how far their music stretches beyond the visible spectrum of categorisation. The band are currently wrapping a short run of small club shows with Many Eyes and Tim Kasher with several more shows and tours planned throughout the year, including a run of European dates, When We Were Young Festival this Fall, Hawthorne Heights’ traveling Is For Lovers festival, and more to be announced. While “Application For Release From the Dream” is a standalone release, the band are also continuing to work on more new music with plans to roll out songs as they record them, unmoored from the traditional approach of releasing albums.
