It’s emo week at CallBullChip for Riot Fest. So revisit any hidden angst still hiding out from high school. I’ll stop short of saying a lot of it sounds alike. But it is formulaic. A formula I like, by the way. Guitars and bass and drums and an edge. A formula rooted in a lot of my faves from Blink to The Descendents to all the way back to Buzzcocks.
Taking Back Sunday are from Long Island and have been around since 1999, but really blew up about 10-15 years ago. They’re one of a few bands that were also at RF 2017. We missed them then, probably will miss them again.
They play on Sunday at Riot Fest.
