The big review: 2000trees 2025
A forest of stars hit Upcote Farm as Alexisonfire, PVRIS, Kneecap, letlive. and a whole load more gather for four days of noisy fun at 2000trees.
"To know this album has made an impact on so many other people’s lives as well as mine is something I still struggle to get my head around," says Adam Lazzara
Back in 2006, Taking Back Sunday released Louder Now, a record so good it got them their first Kerrang! cover, was awarded full marks, and was crowned Kerrang!'s Album Of The Year. And why not? It's the one with MakeDamnSure, What's It Feel Like To Be A Ghost? and Liar (It Takes One To Know One) on it. It's an absolute belter.
To celebrate its 20th birthday, on October 16 the band will release a special edition on CD and vinyl, featuring the original songs and a pair of bonus B-side tracks, Brooklyn (If You See Something, Say Something) and Sleep, as extra songs on the CD, and on special seven-inch single with the vinyl version.
The band will also play the album in full at the upcoming Riot Fest in Chicago and Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado.
Speaking about the impact, frontman Adam Lazzara say, “Louder Now represents a huge milestone for me. 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.”
