Thursday's Geoff Rickley recently spoke to a fansite about his long discussed but largely silent project, United Nations.

Besides Geoff, the band features Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw/Head Automatica, Chree from the Number 12 Looks Like You and Kiss It Goodbye's Eric Cooper. Palumbo described it as a "blast-beat-riddled grindcore band" back in 2005. Geoff had this to say about the current status:

We were supposed to record before we started this tour but my grandmother died on the last few days of the Rise Against tour so I needed to go home and deal with family stuff. We have a solid lineup and we have seven or eight songs written. We're gonna write a few more and put the record out later this year. It's going to take a little more planning because everyone is so busy. We lost a big block of time that we could have worked on it and the Glassjaw tour was so last minute and that also took away from time that we could have spent on it.

Thursday most recently released A City by the Light Divided.
