"I met up with Taking Back Sunday in Charlotte, North Carolina and we recorded the song live in a physical recording studio, honing in on the group’s powerful instrumentation," Aoki recalls in a statement. "I come from a punk background and it’s always so good to work with artists that share the same passion for live music. This record encapsulates both of our roots while maintaining the Aoki elements that bound the track together."
Vocalist Adam Lazzara adds, "Getting a call asking if we wanted to write with Steve Aoki was very surreal. Steve comes from a very similar background as we do, house shows, DIY labels, the whole thing. He says, "We were listening back to different ideas he had, and one guitar part in particular caught our drummer Mark’s ear. We approached it in the same way we do our own songs, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Turns out our worlds aren’t as far apart as people might think."
Taking Back Sunday are scheduled to tour the U.S. with Third Eye Blind, and will later share the stage with My Chemical Romance.
Steve Aoki was recently honoured as Adweek's Creator Visionary of the Year.
