From Victory Records...

We're celebrating the 21st anniversary of Thursday’s seminal sophomore album, Full Collapse, with a limited-edition 10-inch vinyl collection. A highly-influential title in the post-hardcore scene, 2001’s Full Collapse was the band’s breakout album, thanks in large part to the popularity of singles “Understanding in a Car Crash” and “Cross Out the Eyes.” Now, fans have the opportunity to revisit the genre-defining album in a new light.

Set for release on October 28th and available for pre-order today, the anniversary box set (limited to 5,000 copies worldwide) presents the entire album across three 10-inch LPs. Designed by MDRN DVSN and Thursday, which comes housed in a unique hardcover book and features a brand-new collection of never-before-seen photos of the band, captured by photographer Nathaniel Shannon between 2001-2002.

Alongside the release of the boxset, there will also be a brand new, limited edition Full Collapse Anniversary T-Shirt design available that is exclusively available on the Victory Records and Craft Recordings webstores. The tee will also be made available as a bundle with the boxset while stocks last.

A significant player in the early 21st century’s post-hardcore scene, Thursday formed in 1997 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Led by vocalist Geoff Rickly, the band’s initial lineup also included bassist Tim Payne, drummer Tucker Rule and guitarists Steve Pedulla and Tom Keeley. After issuing their debut, 1999’s Waiting, through New-York based indie label Eyeball Records, the band singed to Victory for 2001’s Full Collapse.

Tours alongside Boysetsfire and Sparta helped support the album, which cracked the Billboard 200 at number 178.

Thursday’s frequent gigging and furious passion fueled a grassroots response, and by 2002 the band was on the main stage of the Warped Tour and enjoying MTV support for the single “Understanding in a Car Crash.”
