[EMO] This is pretty self-explanatory for most of you reading this, but let’s elaborate anyway. The rise of Taking Back Sunday began in 1999 with guitarist Eddie Reyes from Long Island, along with a few punk screamo kids in and out of other bands. Their first album, Tell All Your Friends, was released in 2002, followed by Where You Want to Be in 2004, meaning that these albums are just about 15 years old. The band, then made up of a slightly different lineup after breakups and fights and whatever else, released Louder Now featuring their successful single “MakeDamnSure,” along with another record in 2009 that didn’t get earn much notice (New Again). The original lineup reunited in 2010 and has since released three studio albums: Taking Back Sunday, Happiness Is, and Tidal Wave. They’ve received mostly positive reviews, with Happiness Is reaching number 10 on the US Billboard 200. And of course, their early stuff still sounds so good. Hopefully we’ll hear a little bit of everything when the band comes to Buffalo to play at an outdoor stage at 301 Ohio Street on Saturday, August 19. They’re playing at the new venue with Buffalo hardcore heroes Every Time I Die and All Get Out.
