Everybody's favorite emo band is LOUDER NOW. Well, not really, but they're as loud as they ever were, with guitars that triangulate the influences of math rock, 1990s alt rock, and '80s metal, and the kind of heart-on-sleeve vocals that melt emo teens' hearts. Still, there's divergence from the emo template here; witness the poppy falsetto vocal hook in "MakeDamnSure" or the acoustic introspection of "Divine Intervention," or even the twist-and-grind guitars of "My Blue Heaven," which evoke King Crimson-via-Tool. In short, you don't have to be an emo maven to get LOUDER NOW.
Tracklist
Taking Back Sunday
After putting in their time on the New York/New Jersey punk scene, toiling away as a perennial opening act, and selling themselves hard on the Vans Warped tour, Long Island's Taking Back Sunday achieved a major breakthrough with 2004's WHERE YOU WANT TO BE, released on Victory Records. Rooted in the anthemic punk and hardcore sounds, Taking Back Sunday also possess a mature sense of songcraft and structure that expands on the punk template. By the time 2006's LOUDER NOW was released, the band had become true mainstream rock stars. Though co-founder and vocalist Fred Mascherino left the band in 2007 to focus on his solo career, the band has soldiered on.
