"We are sad to see Fred go," says vocalist Adam Lazzara, "and we wish him well with his new project. As for Taking Back Sunday, we're alive and well. We've started working on the new album and it feels really good."

"There's a creative spark that comes in this part of the process and for a band there's nothing better than when you hit it and start having two hour conversations about music," adds bassist, Matt Rubano. "That's where we are and we're excited to challenge ourselves and see what the future holds." - more on this story
