Geoff Rickley of freshly unsigned act Thursday recently paricipated in a detailed interview discussing their departure from Island Records, their label future, success and even mentions the thoroughly awesome Don DeLillo.

As far as their new free agent status:

They weren't the same label that we signed to. Everybody that signed us moved to Warner Brothers, and there was just like six months during War All The Time when we just didn't have anybody working there. Then they brought in the new staff and it took us a long time to get used to them. I actually like all the new people, but they were much more focused on bands like Fall Out Boy, The Killers… more of like a real pop thing. Bands like us and Thrice, they just […] didn't know what to do.

He also discusses why they will never explode at the level of their friends in My Chemical Romance:

I don't think that would ever really happen to be honest, just from the style of music that we like and the bands that we've always looked up to like Fugazi, Refused and Quicksand and stuff like that. That's been one of the jokes for us as a band is that we got to that level so quickly that it's almost been like, well where do we go now?
