This Amityville, New York USA-based Punk-Pop five-piece band first came
together in 1999, when guitarist Eddie Reyes decided to start a band,
he recruited second guitarist John Nolan, bassist Shaun Cooper and drummer
Mark O'Connell; the line-up was later completed with the addition vocalist
Adam Lazzara.
The quintet recorded a few demos and began to play live shows, eventually,
they signed with Victory Records who released in March of 2002 their debut
full-length album, "Tell All Your Friends", the record broke
into the top 10 of the Billboard Magazine's Independent chart; the group
crisscrossed the United States getting dates and shows with more national
acts, including Boxcar Racer, The
Used and Jimmy Eat World.
During 2003, both Nolan and Cooper left the band and went on to form Straylight
Run, they were replaced by guitarist Fred Mascherino and bass player
Matt Rubano; in the middle of the summer of the next year the revamped
Taking Back Sunday released their breakthrough LP, "Where You Want
To Be", the album crashed into the top 3 of The Billboard Top 200
chart spawning "A Decade Under The Influence" which hit #16
on The Modern Rock Tracks chart.
On April 25th, 2006 Taking Back Sunday released their third album "Louder
Now"; the set is led by first single "MakeDamnSure", which
is already finding its way to modern-Rock radio.
