As Taking Back Sunday gear up for their upcoming US tour through intimate clubs this September and October, the alt-rock quintet are unleashing “You Can’t Look Back,” the second single and video from their seventh album Tidal Wave (Hopeless Records – out September 16, 2016). Watch the music video below.
A contrast to performance footage of their previous video “Tidal Wave,” “You Can’t Look Back” is a gorgeously shot but viscerally-charged video of the band and their friends gathered around a campfire, when something happens wholly unexpectedly to vocalist Adam Lazzara.
The upcoming tour posits the band in much smaller venues, enabling the band to connect with their audience better and play longer, extended sets. “Our idea is to go to the smallest clubs we can go to,” Lazzara told Entertainment Weekly. “We’d like to debut this record as honestly as we can and what better way to do that in a small club?” Many shows have already sold out, including a duo of New York City shows at Irving Plaza, Boston’s Paradise Rock Club, Dallas’ Trees, and Nashville’s Exit/In.
Since their recently announced Riot Fest aftershow in Chicago sold out in less than an hour, the band will be holding an auction for two tickets, a Meet & Greet with the band, a signed copy of Tidal Wave, a signed set list, etc. to benefit Sweet Relief Musicians Fund which provides financial assistance to struggling musicians.
