Thursday is an American rock band formed in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1998. The band includes Geoff Rickly (lead vocals), Tom Keeley (lead guitar, backing vocals), Steve Pedulla (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Tim Payne (bass), and Tucker Rule (drums). Their debut album, Waiting, was released in 1999 and featured original guitarist Bill Henderson, who left in 2000 and was replaced by Pedulla. The band gained popularity with their second album, Full Collapse, released in 2001. Their major-label debut, War All the Time, was released in 2003 and debuted at number 7 on the US Billboard 200. Subsequent albums included A City by the Light Divided (2006), Common Existence (2009), and No Devolución (2011). The band announced an indefinite hiatus after Australian tour dates in 2012, which Rickly later confirmed as a full disbandment. Thursday reunited in 2016, toured for several years, and broke up again in 2019. In 2020, the band announced another reunion, performing at Chicago's Riot Fest in 2021. In 2024, they released 'Application for Release From the Dream,' their first new song in 13 years.
