Thursday has entered the studio to begin recording their sixth full length and second for Epitaph Records. The band will spend the next few months recording at Tarbox Road Studios in Fredonia, NY with Common Existence and A City by the Light Divided producer Dave Fridmann (MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Mogwai) and plan to release the new album in spring 2011.

Frontman Geoff Rickly commented:

We’ve worked with Dave Fridmann before, but this is definitely the most we’ve ever clicked with him. In style, this record feels like a radical departure from our earlier records but in substance it feels like a return. The songs are more vulnerable than they’ve been in a long time. Some of the song titles include “A Darker Forest” and “Little Sparks Against the Sun”… It’s very atmospheric and mood oriented so far.

Since the release of Common Existence in 2009, the band toured with Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Bring Me The Horizon, Touche Amore, La Dispute, Young Widows, The Dear Hunter and Fake Problems. Rickly also contributed to his side project, the retro-screamo outfit, United Nations.

Hooky, a short-lived project from Matt Canino and Erica Freas of Rvivr, Latterman and Shorebirds, have posted a free download of their 2007 demo. The band performed only five shows in their short time together and recorded the six song demo. The band is asking for donations for those who download the record and add:

Hooky was a short, beautful, fucked up band from summer 2007 to spring 2008. We rocked hard, we stopped hard. Download our demo, or listen to it here, many of you have asked for this over the years and we’re finally making it available. Donations will go to the debt and then if that gets all paid up and we have cash left over, maybe we can do a 7″. Or order a pizza. It all depends on YOU!

Check it out here.

RVIVR released their LP this year to a great reception and can be downloaded at Rumbletowne as well.
