Taking Back Sunday are set to debut their 7th album out on intimate club tour!

July 20, 2016

There is something about the energy that comes from intimate nightclub shows that I just love. You can just feel the energy and enthusiasm as it races through the tight crowds and highlights the honesty and passion of the music. I was excited to hear that Taking Back Sunday will be debuting their new album, Tidal Wave with an intimate club tour. This will be their seventh album and Tidal Wave picks right up where they left of with their 2014 release Happiness is… and takes them to a whole new level. Vocalist Adam Lazzara explains,

“By the time most bands get to this point in their career they are pretty set in what they do, but we were really mindful about approaching our musical ideas differently this time around and staying true to where the five of us are in our lives right now. This album is truly an expression of what Taking Back Sunday is during this snapshot in time as opposed to what we think people expect from our band.”

The album is set to release on September 16th via Hopeless Records. Lazzara continues about the album,

“I think this record is going to help us reconnect with our old fans as well as cross paths with some new ones, but in the end, we wrote it for ourselves and we couldn’t be happier with it.”

The tour which will bring fans into an intimate setting comes after their stadium summer co-headlining Taste of Chaos Tour with Dashboard Confessional. About the club shows, Lazzara comments,

“Our idea is to go to the smallest clubs we can go to… We’d like to debut this record as honestly as we can and what better way to do that in a small club? Outside of a week there in the middle, it’s a two band bill, so we’re going to have to play for a long time.”

Check out the tour dates and I strongly encourage you to make it out to one of the shows.
