Taking Back Sunday

As a young, impressionable teenager, the band Taking Back Sunday meant a lot to me. Their emo-stylings and lyrics spoke to my constantly heart broken self. As such, their first album, Tell All Your Friends, was played pretty much every day. Heck, I still bust this song out on guitar every now and then:

Time went on, members came and went, albums were released and they just never seemed to recreate the brilliance of Tell All Your Friends at least as far as I was concerned. Maybe it was just the time and place and the memories linked to the album? Like when Joe and I drove to Colorado listening to this album over and over again, trying to convince his parents there were no swear words in it like modern music? Ahh, the memories.

Anyway, for the first time in years, the band is back together with the original lineup. Well not the original, original lineup with Jesse Lacey (of Brand New fame) in it, but the lineup that recorded Tell All Your Friends. And they've put out a new song!

You can listen to it here.

After one listen I'm a bit undecided. They don't really do the dual vocals on it like on Tell All Your Friends, but hey, it's not finished yet. Fingers crossed.
