The Big Feature

THURSDAYTHURSDAY

While still considered one of the more mainstream pioneers of post-hardcore, Thursday have always seemed somewhere on the outside of the US scene. Not anymore. With new album Common Existence proving to be their most complex, ambitious record yet, we speak to Geoff Rickley about what inspired a record that spent all whole year in production.

HACRIDE report in from the studio... 3/4 of Span return in DOG ALMIGHTY... and BURN DOWN ROME on ill-fitting genres. Plus there's our guide to the best of HAMMERFEST 2009, and if you're a little confused about the whole Youtube thing, check out our Bluffer's Guide to YOUTUBE VS. PRS FOR MUSIC and all will become clear. Sort of.

From the moshpit there's LIGHTS ACTION, BLAKFISH, BURN DOWN ROME, and MARKOVSKY.

It appears Dartz! have split up.

Gutting. Especially as at the moment all details are restricted to a one word blog.

We have decided to call it a day.
