New Jersey’s own Thursday – lead singer Geoff Rickly, guitarists Steve Pedulla and Tom Keeley, keyboardist Andrew Everding, bassist Tim Payne, and drummer Tucker Rule – have built a loyal grassroots following on tour and over the Internet since the release of their album debut in 2000, Waiting (on the indie Eyeball imprint). Constant roadwork in support of their next album for Chicago’s Victory label (Full Collapse in 2001) brought Thursday to Island in 2002, and the Vans Warped Tour in 2003. War All the Time arrived in September 2003, peaking at #7 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, on the strength of its top 30 Modern Rock Track and video, “Signals Over the Air.” For further information go to www.THURSDAY.net
