THURSDAY mit neuem Label am Start

Die Post-Hardcore-Pioniere THURSDAY haben sich jetzt nach langem hin und her für ein Label entschieden: Ab sofort werden sie auf Epitaph Records releasen...
Eineinhalb Jahre haben sich THURSDAY für diese Entscheidung Zeit genommen. Jetzt ist es fix: Die Post-Hardcoreler aus North Brunswick/New Jersey haben bei Epitaph Records unterschrieben.

Ihre Entscheidung haben THURSDAY sehr ausführlich auf ihrer offiziellen Homepage erläutert. Hier ein kurzer Auszug:

"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."
