Taking Back Sunday

Taking Back Sunday

Raw, unpolished emo recorded before the fame. Gritty guitars and straining vocals capture the desperate energy of Long Island basement shows.

Find on Amazon

It's the raw, basement-tape version of the band before they became emo royalty.

A desperate and unrefined search for connection amidst suburban boredom.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The unrefined vocal strain during the bridge of Eleven where the pitch nearly breaks.
The way the guitars collapse into a feedback-heavy mess at the end of Go On.
The proto-call-and-response interplay on The Things We'll Never Say that hints at their future stadium sound.
