Ever feel like you're getting buried in whatever it is you're working on? Like you're taking one step forward and two steps back? I get that feeling all the time, so if you're anything like me, I've got the perfect belated Monday song for you.
Emo/screamo/post-hardcore pioneers Thursday opened their 2003 album War All the Time with "For the Workforce, Drowning", a lament for our cubically contained, post-modern office world. But even if you don't sit behind a desk making copies (of copies of copies, when will it end?) I think you can probably still raise your defiant fist and get into to the spirit of casting off whatever labour shackles happen to have you fettered. Start your soundtrack for said shackle off-casting with this one.

Thursday: Thursday - Signals Over the Air
Time for another Throwback Thursday song, and this week I've got the perfect pick in the form of a track from celebrated emo/screamo/post-hardcore act Thursday. A Throwback Thursday song by Thursday. Get it? Get it?! Yeah, you get it.
2001's sophomore disc Full Collapse remains my favourite Thursday record, probably due in no small part to it belonging to a rose-coloured part of my youth, but they've got a catalogue with lots of other good stuff in it. Full Collapse follow-up War All the Time is one such solid record, and a piece of work that fans of the genre should check out.
And to make sure that you check it out you do, I'm going to hook you the same way Thursday hooked me on War All the Time back in 2003, with the album's first single "Signals Over the Air". Catchy, singable, and with just enough groove to get your head going, "Signals Over the Air" is a great example of just how much better than your preconceptions "emo" can be.
