Hopeless Records is pleased to announce that they will be releasing the next full length album by Taking Back Sunday in early 2013.

Taking Back Sunday have been working on the album since May with two different producers and have already completed a portion of the record at Rancho Recordo with producer and long-time sound engineer Marc Jacob Hudson (Saves The Day, The Swellers). They head to Long Island this month to finish up with Mike Sapone (Brand New, O‘Brother) who also worked with them on the ‘Demos for Tell All Your Friends’. Eric Tobin, VP of Sales & Artist Development at Hopeless Records explains, “We could not be more thrilled to have Taking Back Sunday as part of the family. There are many things to come and we are so excited for the future!”. Eddie Reyes, one of the founding members of Taking Back Sunday shared: “We are extremely excited to be a part of the Hopeless Records Family and look forward to working with them. I have great respect for the label and the bands they support and we respect how hard they work together. We also can’t wait for everyone to hear our new album and we thank them in advance for their help in making that happen.”

BAYSIDE SIGN TO HOPELESS RECORDS
Hopeless Records is excited to announce the signing of New York natives, BAYSIDE! The label states, “With the signing of Bayside, we have solidified what will be one of the biggest year’s in Hopeless Records history. We are so excited to work with our long time friends and can not wait for fans to see what is in store”. Bayside was formed in the winter of 2000 in Queens, NY. Since their inception, they have released five full- length albums and have sold over a quarter of a million records worldwide. The band is currently composed of lead singer/ guitarist Anthony Raneri, guitarist Jack O’Shea, bassist Nick Ghanbarian and drummer Chris Guglielmo, Raneri explains, “In our 13 years as a band we have released records through a bunch of labels and different situations. When we were looking for a label this time around, we really set out to find a label that could be our last label. We wanted to be somewhere that was actually emotionally invested in their bands no matter what the bands potential or situation was. Hopeless really had the family vibe that we were looking for. We have already had friends on the label and we hit it off with the staff on a personal level immediately. It is nice to have a label that feels like a member of your team instead of a third party.”
