Thursday

Geoff Rickly leans all the way into the crowd at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, mic pressed into a fan’s hand so they can scream the next line back at him themselves, eyes shut, completely gone in it.

This was November 18, 2018, Thursday playing Full Collapse start to finish for its anniversary, in the kind of small, packed room where a record built on confession and catharsis actually belongs, no barricade between Rickly and the hands reaching up to grab the mic.
