Taking Back Sunday are from Long Island, the island of emo ( Thursday, Midtownn, and My Chemical Romance are all from there) With lead singer Adam Lazzara and new edition band members they have you screaming aloud to their FUCKIN awesome lyrics. regardless they are emo, NOT PUNK. HOLY CRAP.. emo just look at their lyrics!!
"Everything I know about breaking hearts i learnt from you"- There's No "I" in Team
" And if you were to slit my throat with my one last gasping breath I'd apologise for bleeding on your shirt"- the overused You're So Last Summer
"Can't you feel it rolling off lips, tensing up your shoulders its love make it HURT"- Bonus Mosh pt.2

to lay a girl on her back on a bed, let her head hang upside down off the bed, and fuck her throat, to receive oral sex from a girl who is upside down, you then take her soul

untalented emo band made popular by the corporate whores seen on MTV. some key features include cliched pseudo-intellecual lyrics, elementary guitar skills, basic drum beats and bass lines. but you can mostly recognize them by their horrible vocalist, teenage girls try to say, "hes just expressing his emotions" no hes whining like a little pussy, theres a difference. a man who expresses his emotions is Maynard James Keenan of "Tool" and "A Perfect Circle". retarded musically inept people will say "goths listen to Tool, therefore everyone in Tool are freaks and you become one by listening to them". but people seem to forget that most of the best artists in history were insane. and maynard only acts weird on stage, hes a normal person off stage.
Taking Back Sunday is just a fad, like NSYNC was about 6 years ago. In a few years, they will have vanished from the whole scene, Tool will be remembered.

Not the film, Friday the 13th Part 8, but a cult underground rock band from Melbourne Australia. Heavily influenced by 80's pop culture and musical acts of the time. Features probably the best drummer today and is a totally tight, tuneful, punkish synth tinged band. Brilliance.
"Hey dude...what ya doing tonight?"

A crappy whiney band with no talent. They tend to repeat a line over and over again if they can't think of another lyric. They threaten to kill themselves over teenage relationships! They aren't guitarists, any beginner can bash a few power chords. No diversity to lyrics, and horrible influence on our youth, soon enough the trendy little emo kids, and also the teenage girls that this music is marketed towards, will begin killing themselves over failed teenage relationships. Overall a damper on music and society.
Emo kid: I learned how to play a Taking Back Sunday song!
Me: Congrats you are officially crappy at guitar!
