Biography
"Taking back Sunday should be preparing for world domination..." -Rolling Stone Magazine, Fall 2003
With the often agonizing sophomore album complete and out of their hands, Adam, Matt, Eddie, Mark and Fred will not have much time to ponder its impact. "In 2004 we are not going to be home at all, and that's exactly what I want," states Adam. The band finished mixing just in time to start a month of May North American dates with Blink 182, finding time to make a stop at the HFStival in Washington, DC. Then they headed out for their first trip overseas to play the Donnington Download festival (with headliners Metallica) and then headline their own sold out shows including their virgin London gig in the legendary 2,000 capacity Astoria.
They returned from that to play KROCK-NY's Dysfunctional Family Picnic with the Beastie Boys, The Strokes and a bunch of others in the band's hometown backyard amphitheater, Jones Beach. "We're in surreal pretend land," exclaims Matt. With no rest in sight, they immediately flew to Texas to begin their run as one of the headliners on the 2004 Vans Warped Tour, and then back to the UK for a main stage stint on the infamous Reading and Leeds Carling weekend.
Prior to the albums' release, Taking Back Sunday released an album track titled "This Photograph is Proof (I Know You Know)" on the hugely successful Spider-man 2 Soundtrack. August 2004 found them on another Alternative Press cover, Rolling Stone's �Hot Band' and Launch's Emerging Artist just as their video for "A Decade Under The Influence" was declared Buzzworthy on MTV and M2. On August 2, WHERE YOU WANT TO BE debuted in the #3 spot on the Billboard Top 200 Chart with 163,000 units in sales for the first week, making them the highest selling rock band in the United States for the week. It's hard not to imagine that this is exactly where they WOULD want to be. Matt puts it best; "the band has focused all of its energy on the present and future...we're ready for anything."
