Former members include original singer Antonio Longo, Jesse Lacey, Eddie Reyes, drummer Mark O’Connell, bassist Matthew Rubano, and guitarist-vocalists Fred Mascherino and Matthew Fazzi. Jesse Lacey left the band in 1999 and subsequently formed the band Brand New in 2000, with whom Taking Back Sunday was involved in a publicized feud. Adam Lazzara joined before the release of the band’s debut album, 'Tell All Your Friends,' in 2002. Nolan and Cooper left in 2003 to form Straylight Run, returning to Taking Back Sunday in 2010. The band’s 2006 album, 'Louder Now,' included the single 'MakeDamnSure,' sold over 900,000 copies, and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, surpassing their 2004 peak of No. 3 with 'Where You Want to Be.' Their eighth studio album, '152,' was released in 2023.
