The NY rockers (just don't call them emo) hit Dublin this July.
Taking Back Sunday may be classified as 'rock rock rock' on their MySpace – and steadfastly deny any emo leanings – but they'll always be emotional rock to us. And, having co-headlined the Warp Tour, played at Live Earth, and sold almost a million copies of their last album, the label doesn't seem to have held them back thus far.
The New York fivepiece take The Academy on July 26 (which is, fittingly, a Sunday).
The gig is part of their New Again album tour – the title of which is a nod to their freshly-recruited guitarist, Matt Fazzi. The follow-up to their chart-topping Louder Now, New Again was produced by David Kahne, who worked on Paul McCartney's last LP, along with albums by New Order and ska punks Sublime.
