Geoff Rickly: Drive Like Jehu and Fugazi were the two bands we all agreed on when we started Thursday.
With Sunny Day Real Estate and Jeremy Enigk, that dude and his band are legendary and have influenced us and countless others in our genre and even outside of our own. It's the same with Appleseed Cast...
I think with this record, it wasn't really the band discovering new influences. These are influences that have been there forever, sneaking in little by little. But this time it came more to the forefront, sort of My Bloody Valentine or Mogwai kind of things.
But then we saw Sigur Rós at Radio City Music Hall, and they just blew us away. So the next day, we started recording 'Division Street' and decided to bring in some of their noisy qualities into our music.
...we wanted to play our own brand of hardcore that reflected our influences, like Joy Division, The Smiths and The Cure.
...it recalls bands that I listened to growing up: Jawbox and Fugazi -truly great bands. I think they put their own stamp on it. It's like, these are our influences...
But we've also been listening to a lot of different stuff that's coming out in music but with our twist. What you are listening to constantly affects how you're playing. We've been listening to a lot of mellower stuff, but what's weird is that it's been coming out a lot heavier. On tour we listen to a lot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Mogwai, not that they are really mellow, a lot of it is heavier in a different way
