#184 - Thursday & Thrice

Thursday Thrice Pennywise Strike Anywhere Coheed And Cambria The Distillers Weezer Alkaline Trio The Used

#184.1 – March 2010

THURSDAY 

With their major-label debut, Thursday are attempting to do what their musical heroes couldn’t-infiltrate the mainstream without compromising their art. Will success spoil them or spark a musical revolution? 



THRICE

These California post-hardcore barnburners have touched the hearts and the minds of thousands looking for music that matters. Is America ready for the change? More importantly, is the band? 



AP #184.1/184.2 

Okay, so both bands have new records out. And they’re touring together this month (hell, we even show the love to their opening act, Coheed And Cambria, in this issue). And since playing favorites in our office usually leads to inter-departmental bloodshed, we decided to put both Thrice and Thursday on the cover of this month’s AP. See you at the shows…

SPECIALS



SWAG THE DOG, IT’S AP-BAY!

Think you’ve got a choice collection of rare tunes, T-shirts and whatnot? We’ve asked band insiders to give us the lowdown on the real collectable stuff in their catalogs. And, thanks to NOFX, AFI, Mindless Self Indulgence, System Of A Down and Thursday, we’re launching our very own One Of One contest to separate the hardcore fans from the poseurs. 



GOTH-DAMN!

Today, anyone who wears dark eye shadow and black clothes can be pegged as “goth.” We talk to Interpol, Evanescence, the Damned, Scarling, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Godhead and others to get a modern view of one of rock’s most misunderstood subcultures.

FEATURES





STRIKE ANYWHERE

These strident political punks have thought globally and acted locally, and they’ve learned just how bad the world really is in the process. 



COHEED AND CAMBRIA

If you think the only things missing from emo are a sci-fi version of the Bible and enough time changes to make Rush sound lazy, well, meet your new favorite band. 



THE DISTILLERS

Having endured a failed marriage, the abandonment of friends and public chastising from Ozzy’s kid, Brody Dalle is playing the same badass music she always has on a bigger scale than ever before. You got a problem with that?
