Pre-order du split avec Envy:

Thursday - As he climbed the dark mountain
Envy - Isolation of a light source

Pas mal en fait!
Même le envy le fait bien.

Bof, le Envy je trouve que ça tourne en rond. Autant avec chacun de leurs albums il y avait quelquechose de différent (et même l'EP Abyssal que je trouvais bon dans l'ensemble), mais là je trouve que c'est du Envy de base et moyen en plus. J'avais déjà pas été convaincu par le split avec Jesu alors... :/

Mince, première fois que j'écoute les samples du split.
Les deux sont. Effrayants (positivement).

Epitaph.

Qui s'en soucie ?

Moi.

j'aurais préféré equal vision.

Les morceaux de thursday m'ont plus fait kiffé que ceux d'Envy...

Today we are very pleased to announce that we have signed with Epitaph Records. We would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone why we are so excited about this partnership and how we believe it will affect our future.

Many of you already know that we have had many difficulties with our record labels in the past, both "Independents" and "Majors", and have subsequently taken some time (a year and a half) to decide on a new situation. In this time, we've been meeting with labels from all over the country as well as discussing the possible alternatives to "signing" with a label. Some fascinating and intelligent people took the time to help us see what we were looking for (and some Record Execs inadvertently showed us what to avoid). From distribution deals, where we would be our own "label", to digital releases with suggested donations, we tried to educate ourselves to all the new and exciting ways that people can get their music out.

One of our biggest concerns was that we find a situation where we could be free to just be Thursday. In the past we've been asked to be the poster boys for a movement that we didn't wish to be a part of, pressured to write "The Big Single" and told to work on our "image." As much as we've always tried to remain true to our vision for the band and our belief in the basic power of music, it has been a struggle to constantly deflect the suggestions and advice of the people surrounding us. In this way, our story is an all-too-common one in today's music industry: We jumped in at the deep end and found ourselves trying to swim with the sharks; even when we were winning, we were losing ourselves. We feel very lucky to have outlasted these challenges and are grateful for the chance to finally do things our own way.

So why did we choose Epitaph? Of all the exciting and liberating options available to us, we found the idea of entering into a partnership with a label that we've always loved to be the most exciting idea. In this new era of music distribution we still see value in aligning ourselves with a company of dedicated and hard working people rather than trying to conduct all of the business ourselves. We want to keep our focus on music and touring. Epitaph have continually voiced their desire to help us become the band that WE have always wanted to be. It's a great feeling to have a label encourage you to be more socially conscious and politically active. It's a great feeling to have a label owner push you to explore the most experimental and challenging aspects of your band's music instead of dissuading you. It's a truly great feeling to be working with a label that all of our friends have had so many great experiences with. And it certainly doesn't hurt to work with a label that has put out many of our favorite records and is run by someone who's been in a touring band.

Brett G. was very clear that he wasn't looking to create any hype about a "return to form" for Thursday and he has never asked us to revisit the style of song writing that we used on Full Collapse (still our biggest selling album to date) but that we should continue to write with the firm intent of making our best record, our true "dream record" and that was especially informative in our decision to sign. We love our early records but the reason we still write music together, every single day, after ten years is that we believe our best records are still unwritten. We are very inspired by Bad Religion's post-Atlantic albums and look forward to our Epitaph years.

In short we've always believed that music has the power to change lives and that all of us who have been lucky enough to make music for a living have a responsibility to try and make the world a more compassionate and livable place in any small way that they can. We hope that with Epitaph's help and guidance we can do our part.

Thanks for listening,
Tim, Tom, Geoff, Andrew, Tucker and Steve (Thursday)

Explanation and Call to Action
Humeur actuelle :French New Wavy

Hello all-

We are currently in Fredonia, NY, mixing songs for our next record on
Epitaph but there is something more pressing that we'd like to talk
about: The Election. This past Tuesday, we posted a picture on our
Myspace that read: "I VOTED FOR OBAMA". There has been a much bigger
response to this simple post than we ever expected. Much of it
positive, much of it negative.

We want to explain why we chose to vote for Obama and why we chose to
post it. This has never been about dividing people or setting our
fans against each other. We believe in equality for ALL, human rights
and community service. Our simple view is that Barack Obama's ideas
and history are most in line with the spirit of our beliefs. Our
songs have always been about compassion and understanding ("War All
the Time", "Cross Out the Eyes"), as well as peaceful protest
("Autobiography of a Nation", "We Will Overcome") and gay/lesbian/
transgender rights ("Paris in Flames", "M Shepard"). Not to mention
the fact that we come from a world of DIY shows at fire houses and
youth centers put on by Community Organizers. We respect the service
of those men and women and look forward to having a President that
comes from that background.

We think John McCain is a fine man and we wish him well. We harbor no
ill will for friends and family that disagree on issues of tax or
policy and supported McCain. We simply believe that our country is a
wonderful place and we hope that Obama will help to make it a place
that belongs to EVERYONE, regardless of race, religion, gender or
sexual orientation.

Many people believe that musicians shouldn't express their political
concerns because it's not their place. Recently Carrie Underwood came out against musicians speaking on politics, saying, "Whether it's from politics or just the world around you, music should be an escape." But we believe that music shouldn't be an escapist fantasy into a holographic vision of euphoria, where responsibility to our fellow man is left behind. We believe that music should project the world that we want to see and then be a soundtrack for the work that has to be done to get there. Here are some of the resources that we use:

http://www.mencanstoprape.org/
http://www.hrc.org/

Thank you for listening. Thank you for being respectful to each other.

Be well,
Thursday

Il est DIY Obama ?

Ce sont les mecs de Thursday qui sont cons comme des balais.

Je me disais bien que son costard il ne l'avait pas cousu lui-même!

Après une première écoute je le trouve bof le split.
Et puis quand même, faire un split avec Iscariote pour ensuite faire un split avec Thursday c'est pas ce que j'appelle une évolution.

Si c'est dans la veine du split avec Envy, j'ai hâte d'entendre.

On February 17, Common Existence, the fifth album from New Jersey post-hardcore legends Thursday, will arrive courtesy of Epitaph Records. The album was recorded by the six-piece band with producer Dave Friddman at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, NY.
