TAKING BACK SUNDAY is the highest selling band in the history of Victory Records, and their debut album, Tell All Your Friends, spent two years on the Billboard New Artist Chart and will be certified gold in August. "This Photograph is Proof" is featured on the upcoming SPIDER MAN 2 Soundtrack.

This is the record that a lot of people never thought would happen: A brand new Taking Back Sunday album that features the same line-up as the band's platinum-selling 2002 debut Tell All Your Friends. Although the players here - frontman Adam Lazzara, guitarists Eddie Reyes and John Nolan, drummer Mark O'Connell and bassist Shaun Cooper - are the same, it's important to point out that this album isn't a sequel to this band's debut as much as it is the beginning of a new chapter of innovation and productivity from this celebrated Long Island rock act.

What began with the simple idea of all five members coming together at the Sonic Ranch in the border town of Tornillo, Texas (near El Paso), last year quickly resulted in a sonic windfall that saw the band writing nearly a dozen songs - and from there Taking Back Sunday never looked back. "The whole experience of us getting back together was really freeing," Lazzara explains. "We went into all of this knowing that our music didn't have to sound a certain way, so we just decided to see what happens and this is what came of it." Nolan adds, "I think we all knew that we had to take this band to a place where it hadn't been before for it to really work; it couldn't all be about nostalgia."

Let's face it, it would be simple for Taking Back Sunday to get back together solely in order to embark on an anniversary tour for Tell All Your Friends, but despite their previous successes they are quick to point out this record is a brand new beast that is ushering in a different era for the band. "This album isn't us trying to be something we're not," Lazzara summarizes, "it's just us and I'm really proud of that." If you listen to Taking Back Sunday with an open mind, you'll agree that it is an important record that marks a giant leap forward for a band that truly defies categorization.

The bands Warner Bros. debut, Louder Now, takes the group's classic ethos of intertwining vocals and hardcore meets-rock-meets pop to an even more enticing level. Taking Back Sunday is taking back rock.

Three studio albums, three gold awards, three Modern Rock hits. Now, three years after its biggest-selling album to date-the #2-charting Louder Now-Taking Back Sunday returns with a new energy, a new
guitarist and a new fearlessness on New Again, produced by David Kahne
(Sublime, The Strokes, Paul McCartney). Having toured with Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution, opened for My Chemical Romance at Madison Square Garden, coheadlined
Warped, and played Live Earth, Taking Back Sunday fulfills the expectations of a growing fan base and yet expands its musical boundaries with an album that
ranges from anthemic rock to engaging pop, the relentless to the infectious. Taking Back Sunday is truly New Again.

Taking Back Sunday draws forth images of what would be born of a marriage between Thursday and Saves The Day. The songs feature passionate,heartfelt lyrics that any listener easily identifies with. In December 2001,Victory Records signed Taking Back Sunday and put them in the skillful hands of producer Sal Villanueva and engineer Tim Gilles (Thursday's 'Full Collapse'). The result is a beautiful blend of passion, emotion and sincerity that is unrivaled in the budding emo-rock scene today. "Tell All Your Friends" is truly destined to be one of the breakout albums of 2002.

The members of Taking Back Sunday have been discussing doing a live acoustic recording in the vein of some of their favorite episodes of Unplugged for some time. In December of 2009, they came together in NYC to rehearse and rearrange some of their classic songs to fit a 'theater in the round' format which worked perfectly in the amazing synagogue - Angel Orensanz - that the producers found for the two shows to take place. Surrounded by some of their longest supporters and hometown fans the band performed 11 favorite songs from their catalog with new instrumentation, multiple drums, stand up bass, piano and the beautiful string section Judgment Day, who also accompanied them on the studio recording of 'My Blue Heaven' from the 'LOUDER NOW recording.' The performance expertly mixed by David Bendeth and enhanced by this beautiful setting is a one of a kind, and will be a fan favorite for years to come...

In anticipation of the next studio album from Taking Back Sunday—whose first three albums have gone gold—Louder Now: Parttwo is the CD+DVD companion to last year’s limited-edition DVD Louder Now: Partone. Pairing a CD of tracks from a stellar 2006 Long Beach Arena concert and two B-sides with a DVD of four live performances of songs from Louder Now, behind the scenes footage, the "Twenty-Twenty Surgery" video (previously released internationally) and "Liar (It Takes One To Know One)," Louder Now: Parttwo is the next chapter in the story of Taking Back Sunday.
