Beloved New Jersey post-hardcore band Thursday have given fans an early Christmas present in the form of a new song.

Released yesterday, “White Bikes” is the band’s second single released this year following "Application For Release From The Dream.” These two tunes are the first pieces of new music from the band in 13 years.

The band said this about their new single, which can be heard here:

“SURPRISE! We’ve been blown away by your support this year: you’ve bought our merch, come to our shows, streamed our music. In April we dropped our first song in over a decade. Then in June we had the opportunity to spend some time at @hansastudios in Berlin, where David Bowie wrote and recorded Heroes, where Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Depeche Mode and REM all made history. There are still magical places left in this world and Hansa is one of them. The result of this session — a song called White Bikes and a @duranite / @gotobednickscholey video documenting our time in Berlin — will start to appear online as the clock strikes midnight around the world tonight / tomorrow morning. Twenty five years to the day that we unveiled our first ever song, we are sharing our newest one. This is our gift to you this holiday season. We hope you love it as much as we do.
White Bikes started with an idea from @normanbrannon , and you can hear his distinctive style all over this song. @stu_richardson had the idea to produce the track like a nostalgic, upbeat, summertime version of War All the Time. Geoff told us that the lyrics deal with the loss of a dear friend — one of the first people he ever played music with — who disappeared one day on his bike. This one means a lot to us for a lot of different reasons. We have no record label, we have no ‘team’ behind this. But we have each and every one of you and that is all we’ve ever really needed in these 25 years... White Bikes on the side of the road.”

Thursday will kick off 2025 with a North American tour alongside Silverstein, Arm’s Length, and Split Chain. Following this trek, they’ll join Silverstein for the band’s European/U.K. tour, which includes special guests The Callous Daoboys and Bloom. The band will also have shows alongside My Chemical Romance and Coheed and Cambria later in 2025. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
