Post-hard-core pioneers, THURSDAY, announce they’re coming out of retirement with their first run of shows in Australia since 2012. Revered for their anguished lyrics, chiming guitars and explosive stage presence, Thursday have been a household name among punk and rock fans since their debut release, Waiting, 18 years ago. Over the course of their active years, Thursday produced six eclectic albums. None were more representative of their distinctive sound than 2003’s War All the Time. Armed with the backing of the major label, Island Records, the album continued to elevate them as one of the most complex and exciting bands of the decade. After pioneering the post-hardcore genre, the band officially disbanded in 2013.
Emerging from the New York City hard-core scene of the 90’s, QUICKSAND delivered a masterclass over two albums on what would be a stylistic blueprint for many bands to follow. They will release Interiors this November, which many attribute as their best album to date. It arrives deliberately unannounced, two decades after the pioneering post-hardcore quartet’s last album. Made completely on the band’s own terms, Interiors has a power, strength and subtlety that will likely stun you. There are no wasted notes, no flab, and no excess whatsoever. It is absolutely perfect.
QUICKSAND’s new album INTERIORS is out November 10 on Epitaph Records.
