Taking Back Sunday: "We're Not Emo!"

Taking Back Sunday may be very busy fellas but that has not stopped then from trying their best to avoid labels when it comes to their music.

Despite their very obvious emo tendencies, their bassist Matt Rubano has claimed that they are not emo at all.

Speaking to Gigwise Rubano said: “As far as emo is concerned we don’t fancy ourselves an emo band,”

“I don’t think anyone does. I mean it’s great, it’s a genre, it’s a description, it’s a box. But we’ve never thought of our band as being in a box, even though it’s evident where we come from.

“But punk, hardcore, rock, we have influences of all those things. I think our goals are to write good music and whoever perceives it as good music if it’s emo fans or rock fans or pop music fans, so be it, who cares?”

Who cares indeed.
