Twenty years after the release of Louder Now, Taking Back Sunday celebrates their landmark third album with a new 20th Anniversary Edition, out now via Craft Recordings. The deluxe release pairs the original album with two bonus B-side tracks—“Brooklyn (If You See Something, Say Something)” and “Sleep”—presented on an exclusive 7″ with the vinyl edition and added to the deluxe CD.
The anniversary edition arrives amid one of Taking Back Sunday’s biggest touring years yet. In addition to appearing at all five dates of the returning Vans Warped Tour and completing a successful North American run with Bayside, the band is currently touring the U.S. with support from Thrice and Saves The Day. The run included festival appearances at Louder Than Life in Columbus, OH; Shaky Knees in Atlanta, GA; and a performance of Louder Now in full at Riot Fest in Chicago, IL. The band continued the album’s 20th anniversary celebration with a special headline date at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where they performed Louder Now in full.
Reflects frontman Adam Lazzara, “Our record Louder Now represents a huge milestone for me and to know it has made an impact on so many other people’s lives as well is something I still struggle to get my head around. To have the opportunity to celebrate that record with both John Nolan and Fred Mascherino on stage together, along with Shaun Cooper, is incredible to me. The songs sound stronger than I can ever remember live and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to share that with everyone.”
Released in 2006 as the band’s first album for a major label, Warner Bros. Records, Louder Now marked a creative leap. Produced by Eric Valentine (Queens Of The Stone Age, Third Eye Blind, Good Charlotte), the album sharpened Taking Back Sunday’s melodic instincts while amplifying every element that made the band unique. Bigger choruses, heavier guitars, darker textures, and arena-sized ambition resulted in a record that broadened the band’s audience without sacrificing the urgency and emotional honesty that had defined its earlier work. It was the sound of a band stepping onto a bigger stage while remaining unmistakably Taking Back Sunday.
This year also brings an especially fitting connection to Louder Now’s original era. In 2026, Adam Lazzara, John Nolan and Shaun Cooper invited guitarist and vocalist Fred Mascherino—who was part of Taking Back Sunday’s lineup for both Where You Want To Be and Louder Now—to join them on the road again. Performing alongside touring musicians Nathan Cogan Post and Mitch Register, the expanded lineup’s three-guitar approach has reinvigorated the band and earned an enthusiastic response from fans, adding new energy to the songs as Taking Back Sunday celebrates Louder Now’s enduring legacy.
