Taking Back Sunday is an American rock band from Long Island, New York, widely recognized for helping to shape the post-hardcore and emo scenes in the early 2000s. The group was formed in 1999 by Eddie Reyes, and their lineup has seen several changes throughout the years, with lead vocalist Adam Lazzara and guitarist/singer John Nolan being key members who contributed to the band's signature sound. Their breakout came with their debut album "Tell All Your Friends" in 2002, which catapulted them to the forefront of the emo movement with heartfelt lyrics and a dynamic blend of melody and aggressive musicianship. The album's longevity was celebrated with a 20th Anniversary Edition, underscoring the lasting impact of their seminal work.

Over the years, Taking Back Sunday has maintained a robust and dedicated fan base, releasing a series of successful records that showcase their evolution as musicians and songwriters. Their discography continues to resonate with fans old and new, filled with anthemic tracks such as “Cute Without The 'E' (Cut From The Team)” and “MakeDamnSure.” Their most recent releases, including singles like "Loved You A Little" in collaboration with Charlotte Sands and "The One," reflect a band that continues to innovate while staying true to their core sound. Taking Back Sunday's music often explores themes of love, loss, and the struggles of growing up, delivered with an intensity that has become their trademark. Their lively performances and the raw honesty in their songs have anchored their status as stalwarts of the alternative music scene for over two decades.
