Geoff Rickly: Drive Like Jehu and Fugazi were the two bands we all agreed on when we started Thursday.
The front half has an almost Latin feel, then it gets so quiet until the chaotic and tense outro. My guitar is attempting to channel Drive Like Jehu.
Number one would be Drive Like Jehu. It's John Reis again! And it's no holds barred. It's kind of like Fugazi in the sense that it challenges you with dissonance and forces you to really reckon with what's being presenting. When you feature guitar in your music you're playing on a pedestal and giving it a spotlight; that's the way it's always been done from blues through to rock and metal. But with Drive Like Jehu, he and Froberg are also showcasing confrontation, and from an art appreciation standpoint it's really engaging. The energy behind it is so punk rock and it's very cerebral the way the two things mix together. They're my all-time favourite guitar band.
Jay Clark, former guitar player for Kill Sadie and current guitarist for Pretty Girls Make Graves, explains his obsession with Drive Like Jehu. 'The first time I realized how great they were was when I was in high school, in study hall, and I was listening to Yank Crime while I was napping. I was kind of in and out of consciousness but the sound was really amazing, I'd never heard anything like it before. For three years I listened to that record every day. They were a big deal to me and a huge influence on the way I play guitar.'
