Influential screamo outfit Thursday played its last ever U.S. show at the Theater of Living Arts in Philadelphia, Pa. this past Friday, Dec.30.

The New Jersey-based quintet announced their breakup in November of 2011 and have been out on their farewell tour ever since.

"We haven't had any falling out and are all still close," the band said in an offiical statement back in November. "I'm sure that we will continue to create, in some capacity, together. We've talked about turning Thursday into something else: a non-profit, a band that only records sporadically, a collection of other projects ... Underneath it all, the personal circumstances involved make it impossible to continue Thursday in the spirit that has made it special. So, we stop. For now, at least."

Check out fan-filmed video footage of Thursday's signature hit, 'Understanding in a Car Crash,' shot at the Philadelphia show below.

Formed in 1997, Thursday issued six studio albums and their latest, 'No Devolución,' hit stores in April of 2011.
