Reviews

Thursday: Common Existence

By Matthew Fiander

It is unfortunate that marketing might keep Thursday stuck in the Hot Topic ghetto, since Common Existence shows that, once again, they deserve a look from a larger audience. [30 April 2009]

Thursday: A City By the Light Divided

By Winston Kung

Thursday makes a return with a melodic tour de force that's barely held back from emocore classic status. Not bad for a band that was about to break up before recording. [20 June 2006]
