Taking Back Sunday Debut New Material Live

posted in: Music News

Long Island natives Taking Back Sunday have spent the better part of the last two years riding a wave of nostalgia thanks to their debut, Tell All Your Friends, crossing the decade mark. Fans know that the band took a few months off during winter 2012 to record in Michigan, but their recent live appearances have been so focused on yesteryear that the idea of hearing something new from the band had become the furthest thing from anyone’s mind. Now it seems the guys in TBS are finally ready to step back into the present, and last night they debuted one of their brand new tracks to a rambunctious live crowd.

Rumored to be titled everything from “Anywhere You Want To Go” to “Beat Up Car,” the latest material from Taking Back Sunday is most certainly built on the same structural concepts that helped propel them into the spotlight all the way back at the dawn of the new millennium. The band’s emo-tinged alternative rock sound pulses below vocalist Adam Lazzara‘s signature wails about heartache and separation, all of which mixes into a smooth rock concoction that slowly builds to a dual-vocal bridge that harkens back to the band’s Where You Want To Be days. It may not be reinventing the wheel by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s sure to please fans news and old. You can stream a fan-shot video of the performance below.

Taking Back Sunday have been debuting new material off-and-on over the last month, which leads us to believe they will soon be announcing a release date for their Hopeless Records debut. Follow Ourstage on Twitter so you never miss another update.
