As the band wraps up the recording of theiir Warner debut, Taking Back Sunday have titled the album Louder Now. The band has fourteen songs recorded and plan to put ten or eleven on the album which is tentatively set for release in April of next year. The upcoming record will be the followup to 2004's Where You Want to Be which was followed by a public split with former home Victory Records.
The band explained that:
We wanted to make a much more rock-oriented record. We did that not in changing our songwriting but maybe in the recording and the tones of the instruments. We also got a really unique character out of each song."
The band has also launched a new charity initiative. They will release a run of Taking Back Sunday holiday greeting cards designed by James Rheem Davis, and signed by each member of the band. The cards available in batches of five or ten and all proceeds will go to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation., American Cancer Society., and Give Kids The World Village.. The cards can be purchased directly from the band's online store.
