Thursday released their debut album, "Waiting", in late 1999 with original guitarist Bill Henderson, who left the band in 2000 and was replaced by Steve Pedulla. The band gained popularity with the release of their second album, "Full Collapse", in 2001, and released their third album and major label debut, "War All the Time", in 2003, which reached number seven on the US "Billboard" Top 200 Albums chart. Thursday released their fourth album, "A City by the Light Divided", in 2006, and two further albums, "Common Existence" and "No Devolución", before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2011. In a January 2013 interview, Geoff Rickly confirmed that the band had actually disbanded. However, the band announced a reunion in 2016. In October 2018, the band announced their reunion would conclude with a performance at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, New York on March 17, 2019; however, Thursday had played more shows by the end of 2019, and will return in September 2021 for a performance at Riot Fest in Chicago.
