"Basically, it’s never been accurate to describe us. Emo bands were being booked while we were touring with Christian metal bands because no one would book us on tours. I think emo is fucking garbage, it’s bullshit. I think there’s bands that unfortunately we get lumped in with that are considered emo and by default that starts to make us emo."

"Thursday are immensely important to the development of post-hardcore, and their sophomore album, Full Collapse, was a turning point for their legacy."

"Not only have Thursday literally been coined one of the most “influential post-hardcore bands of the 2000s,” but they have also made a name for themselves as pioneers in the alternative scene for their standout screaming vocals. [...] They have certainly done their due diligence maintaining their influence over the last two decades, influence which continues to be heard across the alternative genres today. Thursday took emo and hardcore culture and truly shattered the glass ceiling, pushing for what was absolutely alternative to be a part of popular culture."

"In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades (one breath, one step could knock it all down) but you lead with your eyes and you give it away (decide, design to cut from the clouds). When the people you love get lost in the shuffle, (when you leave, you leave nothing but broken heart) you let it go and then you fold."
