Taking Back Sunday To Perform Two Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concerts
Punk rock band Taking Back Sunday have announced that two of their upcoming 10th anniversary Tell All Your Friends shows will be benefit victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The first show takes two shows scheduled for the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ (originally scheduled for Nov. 16th and Nov. 25th) and will combine them into one “megashow” that will take place at the Pine Belt Arena on Sunday, Nov. 25th. Tickets for both of those shows will be honored at the new venue, which has a bigger capacity, allowing more tickets to be sold (they are available here). Support will come from Bayside, The Menzingers, and Kenny Truhn. A portion of all tickets sales will go to the Toms River Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund.
The second show will take place this Friday, Nov. 16th, at the Best Buy Theater in New York City and will see support come from Bayside, and The Menzingers. 100% of ticket sales will go to relief efforts in and around Long Beach, where several TBS members are originally from.
Taking Back Sunday bassist Shaun Cooper said, “We’re devastated to see all of the damage this natural disaster caused in our community and the communities around us, but it is always inspiring to see people come together and push forward. We’re making the best of this difficult situation. Thanks to the fans for the continued support and understanding why these changes needed to take place. We would also like to thank the Starland Ballroom for helping coordinate these efforts despite being located in an affected area.”

John Carpenter Releases New Single “The Ferryman” From Upcoming Audio/Visual Project ‘Cathedral’
Horror master John Carpenter and bandmates Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies have released “The Ferryman“, the second single from Carpenter’s upcoming audiovisual project Cathedral.
The graphic novel arrives on August 4 through Storm King Comics, with the companion album following on August 7 via Sacred Bones Records.
In other words, every track on the companion album corresponds to a chapter in the book, with liner notes guiding listeners through the story as they read.
The 120-page graphic novel is written by Carpenter, editor/producer/wife Sandy King, and Sean Sobczak, illustrated by Federico De Luca and Luis Guaragna, colored by Ryan Winn, and lettered by Marshall Dillon.
“I like that one because it really seems to feature all three of us in a special way,” guitarist Daniel Davies said in a statement about the new single. “It has interesting harmonies that Cody put together and John’s signature pad-style string parts. It’s more of an electronic metal track in a way, but we just wanted to make it as heavy and driving as possible.“
“The Ferryman” follows the previously released “Lord of the Underground“.
The synopsis for Cathedral: “An abandoned cathedral. A gruesome murder. A powerful supernatural entity living in the catacombs. It all comes to a head in downtown Los Angeles. What will happen and who will live to tell the tale? Such is the storyline of Cathedral, the thrilling new album and terrifying graphic novel from legendary director and musician John Carpenter, based on a dream he had in 2024.“
“It was so cinematic and vivid,” the director said. “I thought, ‘I have to score this.’ It’s kind of our first heavy metal album.”
Get ready to immerse yourself in John Carpenter’s universe all over again.
