Thursday Announce Split

Thursday have split up, it’s been announced.

The New Jersey punk quintet released a statement on their official website confirming the rumours.

It reads: ‘Despite the fantastic year that the band has enjoyed, creatively, things haven’t been as easy for us on a personal level. Without diving into detail, it’s fair to say that this year has been an endless series of personal difficulties.’

However, it confirmed the split was amicable and they would continue to work creatively: ‘We haven’t had any falling out and are all still close. I’m sure that we will continue to create, in some capacity, together. We’ve talked about turning Thursday into something else: a non-profit, a band that only records sporadically, a collection of other projects… Underneath it all, the personal circumstances involved make it impossible to continue Thursday in the spirit that has made it special. So, we stop. For now, at least.’

Thursday formed in 1997 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. They released final album ‘No Devolucion’ in 2011.
