Long Island screamo dudes Taking Back Sunday spent
the fall in Los Angeles, recording the follow-up to
2004's hit Where You Want to Be. Their major-label
debut, Louder Now, brings more of the aggression
that made their name. But this time around they
have the luxury of a tricked-out studio and
top-notch producer, Eric Valentine (Good Charlotte,
Queen of the Stone Age).
"It's kind of like taking a seven-year-old kid and
putting him in Toys 'R' Us," frontman Adam Lazzara
says of recording the album, slated for a possible
spring release. "It gave us a chance to have more
than two guitar sounds on a record. We took a
painstakingly long time. I'd drop by the studio,
and some of the things coming out -- I'm like,
'This is us? This is our band?' I love it."

Among the group's favorite tracks thus far are the
"laidback" "My Blue Heaven" and "Liar, Liar," a
song Lazzara describes as "110 miles-per-hour, very
hard to play and totally rocking." "Sleep" is "the
closest thing we could get to that Motown kind of
bass sound," while the rocker "Miami" brings some
"real ear-orgasms!"

Wary that all the California sunshine would take
the edge off their sound, Lazarra says the band
told Valentine, "Look, if this comes out sounding
squeaky clean, we're gonna sick dogs on you."
