Thursday Turn Focus To Warped Tour

After playing a show June 1 in the U.K. the band Thursday turns its attention to the Warped Tour. The festival starts June 15 in Columbia, Maryland and features A.F.I., Joan Jett And The Blackhearts, Motion City Soundtrack, and Rise Against, among others.

The last time Thursday was on the tour was in 2004, and singer Geoff Rickly and drummer Tucker Rule talk about returning to the festival.

Watch video: Thursday Getting Ready For Warped Tour

[Tucker] "I like the camaraderie. I can't stand the heat and that stuff, but you know what? I'm a musician, I'm a kid, I can deal with being dirty. It doesn't bother me. Like I said, I really love seeing the other bands as well. I'm a fan of music as well. I like watching other bands. If I'm scrolling through the television with the clicker. If there's a live band playing on television, I'm going to watch it. I don't care if it's..." [Geoff] "...even a band that we don't like. It's better even checking out what somebody's doing, even if you don't like 'em. Music is so amazing." [Tucker] "Seeing a bunch of live bands and bands that are friends and bands that we like is amazing." [Geoff] "There's a ton on this Warped too. There's like Against Me, Buzzcocks, Rise Against, AFI, Joan Jett, Everytime I Die, a huge list of good bands. It's going to be fun this year."

Thursday is on tour in support of their new album, A City By The Light Divided, and their single, "Counting 5-4-3-2-1."

warped tour is gonna suck this year, like it does every year. The best band playing this year is the buzzcocks and they aren't all that great.

I must say that I like Thursday's new album. Although "Counting 5-4-3-2-1" was not a great song and dis appointed me greatly. I had small hope for the album after I heard this song. But they still came through and put out a great album.

As for the "Warped Tour", I don't think it's going to be anything big at all. I mean, it sucks almost every year and has a minimum of good bands. I am still undecided if I am going to go. There are a total of nine bands I would like to see there, and I don't know if I would want to sit through a bunch of crappy bands all day just to hear a few good ones.
