SAYREVILLE -- One of New Jersey's most influential rock bands this century will return home.

Thursday, the seminal post-hardcore outfit led by wailer Geoff Rickly, announced Wednesday it will play Starland Ballroom in Sayreville Dec. 30.

Tickets are $35 and go on sale Friday at noon on AXS.com. Get these early, folks -- this will certainly sell out quickly.

The New Brunswick-bred group, whose 2001 sophomore LP "Full Collapse" is cited by many current bands as a significant influence, parted ways in 2011, but reunited earlier this year to announced it would play Atlanta's Wrecking Ball festival Aug. 13. The band will also play Riot Fest in Chicago and Denver in September, alongside Jersey legends the "Original Misfits" with Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only rocking together.

No word yet on openers for the Starland show, but Rickly and the guys promise the winter night to be "insane."

NJ --- you won't believe the show we have planned. Lineup and SETLIST will be insane. pic.twitter.com/09kvUbR4Vv — thursdayband (@thursdayband) June 15, 2016
