Rod, Brian and Nick take the reigns and shake up the format a little in this episode. In Part 1: We start with an extended Video Game Tree House segment with our opinions on Final Fantasy Rebirth, Final Fantasy nostalgia in general, and some of our favorite games at the time of the recording. Then we haphazardly stumble into some great feuds: Canes vs. Walking Sticks. Bible vs. Marvel. Taking Back Sunday vs. Brand New vs. Straylight Run, and a visit to the Emo Speculation Basement. In Part 2: Tierdrop Saloon - At the 45 minute mark, we shift over to a ranking classifc stores at the mall in a Mall Mega Tier List! What classic mall stores will make the coveted S-Tier? American Eagle? Orange Julius? Cinnabon? The answers may shock you.

Heralded as a “golden-voiced troubadour” and one of the “32 N.J. bands and artists you need to hear in 2022” by NJ.com, Rory D'Lasnow picked up his late father's guitar upside-down and backward at the age of six. Despite never turning his guitar right-side-up, Rory's unique contemplative sound has propelled him on to perform at some of the East Coast's most distinguished venues and festivals such as Mercury Lounge, House of Independents, and the Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival. His penchant for evocative and vulnerable storytelling has earned him international radio airplay, opening slots for The Early November, Knuckle Puck, American Idol Winner Lee DeWyze, Actor/Musician Drake Bell, and John Corabi of Mötley Crüe/The Dead Daisies, and has garnered praise from the likes of American Songwriter and Atwood Magazine. This year, Rory is touring nationally in support of his new EP, entitled “Songs From An Empty Room” which was produced by Hidden In Plain View guitarist/producer Rob Freeman (Gym Class Heroes, Armor For Sleep, Cobra Starship, Hit The Lights), mastered by Grammy-nominated mastering engineer Mike Kalajian (All Time Low, Circa Survive, Saosin, Straylight Run), and is available on all streaming platforms now. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Shaun Cooper, bassist for Taking Back Sunday and Straylight Run is the guest on this episode of the BREWtally Speaking Podcast. Shaun joins us to sort of talk about Straylight Runs upcoming live album that was recorded back in 2000. We also get into talking about our thoughts on how schooling has changed since we went through it and if we were really taught or prepared for life at all versus how Shaun's kids are learning now. We get into this rabbit hole of Internet culture and how technology has allowed us to learn so much, but has created an environment of people looking for instant gratification and how entertainers and people as a whole are effected by this. We talk shower beers, nostalgia, and a lot more.

We had the pleasure of interviewing John Nolan of Straylight Run over Zoom video! Craft Recordings is thrilled to announce Straylight Run's Live at the Patchogue Theatre — the band's only live album, captured at the height of their success in 2005…and then shelved for 15 years.While a handful of tracks from the performance were shared in 2020 as a Bandcamp exclusive, the forthcoming release will now include the full 16-song set and will be available for fans to enjoy on CD, vinyl, and across all digital platforms. A special edition of the 2-LP set —pressed on red marble vinyl and limited to 500 units — will also be sold exclusively on the band's webstore. All formats can be pre-ordered today, while the advance single "Existentialism on Prom Night (Live At The Patchogue Theatre, Long Island, NY/2005)" is available to stream or download now. Originally formed in 2003 by Taking Back Sunday's John Nolan (vocals, piano, guitar) and Shaun Cooper (bass), Straylight Run marked a sonic departure for the artists, who opted for reflective, indie rock songs over the heavier material that they were known for. Nolan and Cooper were soon joined by drummer Will Noon (formerly of Breaking Pangaea) and singer, guitarist, and pianist Michelle DaRosa. Straylight Run released their self-titled debut in 2004 through Victory Records, earning critical acclaim and a Top 5 spot on Billboard's Independent Albums chart. A year later, they followed with their EP, Prepare to Be Wrong. During this time, the band stayed busy on the road, supporting acts like Coheed and Cambria, The Used, and Motion City Soundtrack, as well as headlining the Vans Warped Tour. In 2005, the band booked a hometown concert at Long Island's Patchogue Theatre to raise funds for a friend in need. Aiming to release a live DVD, they filmed and recorded the show. In a statement, Nolan recalled that "the feeling in the room and on stage that night was incredible… Unfortunately, the [video] footage ended up being unusable, so plans for the DVD were scrapped. The audio from the show sounded great, but at the time we were getting ready to release our first EP, so putting out a live album at the same time didn't make sense." He continued, "We didn't know what to do with the recording, so it stayed on the shelf with the idea in the back of our minds that we'd release it someday." In April 2020, the band shared ten of those songs on Bandcamp — donating 100% of proceeds to Feeding America — and reunited for a one-off livestream performance. Now, with the full release of Live at the Patchogue Theatre, fans can enjoy the only live recordings of songs from Straylight Run and Prepare to Be Wrong, including such favorites as "Existentialism on Prom Night," "The Tension and the Terror," and "Hands in the Sky (Big Shot)." After that evening, Straylight Run went on to release one more album (2007's The Needles the Space) as well as three more EPs before announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2010. That same year, Nolan and Cooper resumed their work with Taking Back Sunday. Today, they continue to record and tour with the best-selling alt-rock band. DaRosa, meanwhile, went on to form the band Destry with Cooper, along with members of The Format and Cassino. Will Noon played drums with the best-selling group, fun., and is currently one half of the Los Angeles-based duo Mourners.

Straylight Run was a short-lived emo band in the late aughts that was fronted by Taking Back Sunday's John Nolan. Even though they only lasted a short while, their sophomore album packs an emotional punch that lingers for at least a decade.
In a very special episode Will Noon talks about depression, Straylight Run, the male body and we also discuss Season 3 Episode 14 of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
On episode 4 of the "Cry About It" podcast, it was my pleasure to speak with Neil Rubenstein. I've known Neil through the music industry for years. We worked together when he booked bands like The Sleeping, John Nolan of Taking Back Sunday, Michele Nolan of Straylight Run and many other great acts. You might also recognize his name from the liner notes on Taking Back Sunday and Brand New records. If you're too young to have bought a physical copy you'll recognize his screams from various songs on Taking Back Sunday's "Tell All Your Friends" album. He was also the frontman of This Year's Model, Sons of Abraham and These Enzymes. Neil is now a hilarious comedian who travels the country bringing laughs to the masses with the same DIY ethic he learned in punk rock. He also has been going viral on Youtube and Tiktok and hosts a mental health podcast.Check out Neil's social:Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/MoBetter...Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itsneilrubens...Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/neilrubenst...Does It Get Better?

On this very special 207th episode of LMAYAQ featuring John Nolan (Taking Back Sunday, Straylight Run) and Brian Bonz (Bobo Touch, Brian Bonz and the Major Crimes, Kevin Devine and the Goddamn Band), Host Anthony asks: if you were to go to an 80's themed party or 90's themed party you would know what to wear, but if you were asked to go to a 2010's party in twenty years, would you know how to dress? Do you think the internet has splintered-off culture and styles in a way that makes dressing for the decade not possible?

We embark into our first Kubrick film. In this episode we discuss the fallout of bad leadership, the difficulty of maintaining good leaders, contemporary American issues, the challenge of moral psychology, and how older films don't really float our boats so much. Enjoy! Additional Spoilers: 2001: A Space Odyssey - 4:45 Being There - 8:55 Arrested Development Season 3 - 9:50 A Tale Of Two Cities - 49:17 Rope - 1:27:35 *Corrections* - At one point David says the band Straylight Run did the song "My slow descent into alcoholism". That song is actually written and performed by The New Pornographers. However, Straylight Run does have a song called A Slow Descent. - This film did not come out four months after the Cuban missile crisis as Luke said, but rather a year and four months after.

As you might be able to tell from the retro photo above, we're traveling back to 2004 to explore the origins of Straylight Run's self-titled debut album with the help of frontman, guitarist and pianist John Nolan. After leaving Taking Back Sunday in 2003 amidst a sea of controversy, Nolan formed Straylight Run with fellow TBSer Shaun Cooper on bass – eventually rounding out the group with his sister, Michelle, and drummer Will Noon. From the opening strains of Straylight Run, it's clear Nolan's new band would be anything but TBS 2.0. Filled with lush harmonies, piano and moody ballads, the album found the singer exploring uncharted musical waters – a sound that fans hail to this day as a true hallmark in his career. To commemorate the album's 10th anniversary, I caught up with John to chat about its creation, how he grew as a songwriter and just who the songs on Straylight Run are – or aren't – about.

Taking Back Sunday is truly a band that needs little introduction. The Long Island quintet changed the emo and contemporary punk games forever back in 2002 with the release of Tell All Your Friends, and they went on to enjoy mainstream success thanks to hits like "MakeDamnSure." Of course, none of this was without turmoil; guitarist/vocalist John Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper unceremoniously departed the band in 2003, later going on to form Straylight Run before returning to TBS in 2010. I caught up with Cooper and drummer Mark O'Connell in Silver Spring, Maryland to chat about their new album, Happiness Is, and major-label horror stories.
