Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 549

I realize in the jolly year of 2025 that band names are getting harder to choose every day

but this is not a good one, and unless they reveal that Fazzi is the frontman or something I am not holding my breath.

quick edit: on second thought, I think Eddie must just enjoy being in bands with terrible names (see: FGAD)

 

Personally, I think it's a great plan to name your band "me" after you/your friends were talking a whole bunch on reddit and in the comments about the big egos in your former band. (Assuming it's M for Mark and E for Eddie and at one point they were testing "marked"?)

 

I'M BEDDA DAN YOUUUUUUU

 

How long before Eddie shows up in the subreddit and reacts to all the negative reactions in there?

 

I honestly think that account is some AI experiment or some kind of bot.

 

AI knows that the Fred era was the best TBS era

 

I just think it's funny that they still both have TBS in their insta handles

 

No one would remotely give a shit otherwise haha

 

fixed.

 

I genuinely wonder if they even tried to find other established bands to play for/tour with before embarking on this new project, which basically has no hope of going anywhere unless they can recruit someone with some cred to sing.

I realize I sound really negative about this, but this is not looking promising and their behavior has just been so weird.

 

Apparently it's nearly impossible to change a verified account's handle, which could explain Mark not changing it (though Eddie isn't verified, so this doesn't explain it) but I also don't think they would change it if they could, since they seem to think they'll have a lot of success pushing the "sounds like original tbs" angle.

Wild to drop an official Instagram like this without any posts on it, but there are...six? Follow the Money "brand" related accounts. Interesting priorities for this group here.

 

Every guitar riff Mark posts is the most basic shit ever lol

Saving the good stuff for us to hear later I guess

 

It's wild how generic these riffs are. I met Fazzi once after a show and complimented him on the Swing riff. He was like "thanks man but that was all Mark"

To go from that to this. Dude fell off hard

 

where are these vids you're all talking about?

 

That's interesting because I could've sworn I read an interview where Fazzi said he wrote the Swing riff as an homage to Fred's guitar work.

 

Where is the tell all fazzi podcast? Someone needs to do that

 

This was like 2012-2013ish so it's been quite awhile. I'm pretty confident it was Swing, but it was in a loud club so he might have misheard me.

It definitely does sound like a Fred riff

 

I would never purposefully do this

If the Fred-TBS tour ends up not happening it means things fell apart during the negotiation process (I know that Fred was gonna ask for more money than he gets with Say Anything, which is a pittance) and I will be as disappointed as everyone else

 

I don’t doubt you, Lenny

 

The band name is honestly just stupid because it's going to be hard to google. Not great for marketing tbh. Same issue as the tv show "From."

 

What does Fazzi does on the musical side these days? It’s been a while since the last Rare Futures release

 

first happy body slow brain album went so hard. Saw them once during that time and saw him play with a great big pile of leaves. Great times.

 

He’s just toured with RX Bandits playing bass

 

Wasn’t Fred going to be filling in for John? We’ll know if John isn’t there.

 

I was really hoping he would be playing with GBPOL when they opened for The Starting Line at the holiday show, but alas, no Fazzi. Hope he's doing great though.
