Product Description

Review

In my younger days living in New York, I would spend every Sunday afternoon seeing countless hardcore and punk bands at the all-ages "Matinee" show at CBGB's in New York City. Cause For Alarm, Snapcase, Shelter, Earth Crisis were regulars and everyone I knew had at least three Victory releases in their record collection at any given time.

Time may have moved on but the Chicago hardcore label has gone from strength to strength: they are now on the road to moving credible heavy music away from the middle class white suburbs of America to a global audience.

Taking Back Sunday are one of these new breed of Victory bands. Formed in 1999, they attracted attention with a 5 song demo that quickly impressed the emo contingent on the east coast. Hailing from Amityville, New York, they bring a welcome mix of original styles to an overcrowded playing field. The band flirt with an interesting mix of southern Californian post-punk, nu-metal and old school hardcore but "Tell All Your Friends" refuses to be pinned down to just one.

A constant through the album is their ability to write fantastically catchy songs that are poppy and fun as they are upbeat and emotionally aggressive. Tracks like the opener "You're So Last Summer", "Timberwolves at New Jersey" and the excellent "You Know How I Do" could easily veer down the path of conventionality but instead hold true to their punk roots. It's a lot more All Or Descendents than it is Blink 182 or Sum-41 (what's with the numbers you punk people?) but still retains enough of its own identity to keep the band above the rest.

The band have already amassed an impressive tour schedule - playing with bands like The Alkaline Trio, At The Drive In and Rival Schools and with songs this good, they look ready to explode and lead the charge for the new school of excellent new music coming out of the US.

For those of you into the post-punk sound, you need this in your CD collection. One to watch in 2002 for sure. --Olli Siebelt

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome 23 Feb 2003

By "electrickiwi"

Format:Audio CD

Taking Back Sunday are a great band. I can't actually remember how I got into them. Probably though Thursday or Finch, but that's not important. "Tell All Your Friends" is a brilliant CD and will appeal to almost anyone who likes punk, emo or hardcore, as it blends all 3 styles perfectly. My favourite songs on this CD are "Cute Without The E", "There's No 'I' In Team" and "You're So Last Summer". Each song is filled with emotion, and while the screaming (which I think just makes the songs sound even more emotional) may not be to everyone's taste, makes the lyrics so much more effective.

Fans of Thursday, A Static Lullaby, Finch and Thrice will love this. Or at least most of them will :D I do.

5.0 out of 5 stars i really did tell all my friends 13 Nov 2003

By J Robinson

Format:Audio CD

What a cracker. Quite simply one of the best albums i own. When i first got it i thought it would just be me who liked it, but as i played it to my mates, admittedly all emo/core listeners, they loved it. Initially brilliant, then it grows a little bit more every time. I played it non-stop for weeks if not months. And now every time a stick it back in, i kick myself for not listening to it sooner. Two amazing singers up front and a guitarist who actually knows what he's doing (rare amongst the emo band wagon). So good, a genuinly lifting album, perfect for a sunny day, or any day, especially sunday, when theres nothing to do, just listen. Can't recommend it enough

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST EMO/ROCK ALBUM OF 2002!!!!!!!!!! 5 Jan 2003

By Mr. T. E. Henry

Format:Audio CD

As I sit hear writing this review their are only 4 already submitted. By the end of this year there is bound to be 100+
Taking Back Sunday are going to be massive. Why? Because they bring together the finest elements of todays finest rock bands to produce their own unmistakable sound. The loud melodic guitars of Thursday, the emotion of Dashboard Confessional, the catchyness of Hundred Reasons and their own clever use of dual vocals. Ive had the album since July but I only felt compelled to write a review after listening to the album again yesterday. Im rubbish at writing reviews so you'll just have to take my word for it and check them out yourself. If you want a flavour of their music try downloading Cute without the E and Timberwolves at New Jersey. If you are a fan of Thursday, Brand New, Hundred Reasons, Jimmy Eat World or Finch you most certainly wont be disappointed. Its just a shame their going to have their name disgraced by mini moshers and irritating kids in the forthcoming months.
