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 25, 2006 Taking Back Sunday released its third album "Louder
Now" through Warner Bros. Records; the 11-song set debuted at #2
in U.S. and at #5 in Canada led by the first single "MakeDamnSure",
which shot to #8 on The Hot Modern Rock chart; the follow-up single, "Liar
(It Takes One To Know One)", reached the #21 position on the same
chart.
Taking Back Sunday will offer a new album, "New Again", on
June 2. It will be the band's first release since guitarist Matt Fazzi
replaced Fred Mascherino. The band have selected "Sink Into Me"
as the first single off their upcoming album.
