Fanscape reports: Thursday’s new album A CITY BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED is on an exclusive pre-sale only at www.towerrecords.com. Each pre-ordered album will be accompanied by a limited edition 7 inch. The album drops officially on May 2nd.

Thursday, forerunners in the trend of including a day of the week or a month in the name of your band…but seriously, one of the very bands responsible for bringing post-hardcore into the mainstream, will release a second album since signing with Island recording group.

It is loud, tender, true and angry, which are also things that certain music fans really like. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
