Band history
Taking Back Sunday started in 1999 with Antonio Garcia (vocals), Jesse Lacey (bass, vocals), Eddie Reyes (guitar), John Nolan (guitar, vocals, keyboards) and Steven DeJoseph (drums) in Long Island and almost took part in 2001 Formation (Steven DeJospeh left the band during the recording, but can be heard on the songs "Summer Stars" and "Go On") performed a 6-track demo. Only a short time later, Antonio Garcia was kicked out of the band and Jesse Lacey left the band after his girlfriend cheated on him with John Nolan. The dispute is processed in the songs There's No 'I' in Team and Seventy Times Seven (from Lacey's next band, Brand New ). Original statements of the dispute are reproduced in the breakdown of both songs. Adam Lazzara took over the vocal part and Shaun Cooper the bass. In this formation they came to Victory Records and released their first album Tell All Your Friends on March 26, 2002 .
Shortly thereafter, the band was on the verge of collapse, as John Nolan and Shaun Cooper split from the band and turned to the band Straylight Run . Fortunately, the band got a new member a short time later in the form of Fred Mascherino, who had previously played in the befriended band Breaking Pangea . With bassist Matt Rubano, a childhood friend of Marc O'Connell, they then recorded their second album Where You Want to Be in 2004 , with which they had greater success. The single "A Decade Under the Influence" was played up and down on US radio and music TV stations. It reached number 3 on the US Billboard charts.
In 2005, Taking Back Sunday recorded their third album, Louder Now , on which they worked with Eric Valentine as a producer. For this album they switched to the major label Warner Brothers Records . It was released on April 25, 2006 and its sound is very different from its two predecessors, but was even more commercially successful than these.
On October 4, 2007, the band announced that guitarist and songwriter Fred Mascherino and the rest of the band were parting ways because Mascherino intended to pursue a solo career. The recordings for the 2009 album New Again took place without him. Matt Fazzi was introduced as a replacement.
In the spring of 2010, Matt Fazzi and Matt Rubano announced that they had left the band and that John Nolan and Shaun Cooper had joined the group. This returned to the formation of the first album Tell All Your Friends . The fifth album Taking Back Sunday was released on June 24, 2011 .
style
Stylistically, the band plays brisk, catchy alternative rock , with some elements of indie rock also being audible. Furthermore, there is a variety of louder and quieter parts in their style. Lyrically, separations or painful experiences are often processed in their songs, which sometimes leads to exaggerated emotional statements. Some influences from Melodic Hardcore and Emocore are also recognizable through this .
In most of her songs two voices can be heard, which allow their views of a situation to flow into one another in dialogue form.
