Taking Back Sunday Ready New Again Before Blink-182 Tour

Taking Back Sunday gave their fourth LP a fitting title: New Again. As frontman Adam Cheap Rosetta Stone Lazzara told Rosetta Stone when we visited the Long Island rockers in a New York recording studio last fall, the addition of guitarist Matt Fazzi last spring has given the five-piece a wildly fresh perspective."The idea that weve really embraced on this record is that its up to us to decide what Taking Back Sunday sounds like," bassist Matt Rubano tells RS.”We always want to be redefining what that means, and theres stuff on this record I think in the past we would have stayed away from." Rubano says the "sassy" "Cut Me Up Jenny" has a hint of Phoenix and Bloc Party, while "Lonely, Lonely" was inspired by Queens of the Stone Age and became "a freight train of rock roll."The band wrote New Again, due June 2nd in Brooklyns notorious hip Williamsburg neighborhood, where "We stuck out on the street because we were so Cheap Rosetta Stone Software loud," Rubano says. But inside their practice space, their sound was growing tighter. In fact, Lazzara says he cant even bear to listen to 2002s Tell All Your Friends anymore.”I hadnt hit puberty yet," he jokes.”Weve just grown as musicians [since then]; its so fun to sing these songs now because theres things I can add to those tunes I couldnt do then."Still, the band hasnt abandoned older songs that still strike a chord with fans. Theyve added a version of "Cute Without the E" to their set list thats inspired by the mono-note melodies of Interpol and Joy Division ("We put on thousand-dollar suits and look really handsome and intense," Lazzara deadpans) and recently paid a visit to rock vocal coach Melissa Cross. Cross, who normally assists harder bands like Underoath, Thursday and Andrew W.K., spent four hours with the band helping Rosetta Stone language them work on singing techniques.
