"Taking Back Sunday" is Taking Back Sunday's first traceable demo. Jesse Lacey, now of the band Brand New, was in the band during the making of this demo. The lead vocals on this album are not sung by Adam Lazzara, but by their original singer, Antonio Longo. The drumming on "Go On" and "Summer Stars" was done by Taking Back Sunday's first drummer, Stevie D. who joined TBS' first incarnation with guitarists Ed and John. He left after recording these two tracks to reform his old band, Prescott C. The EP itself would receive little attention at the time of its release and would eventually result in the band seeking a new lead singer, who would become their then-bass player Adam Lazzara.
