Adam Lazzara

Adam Lazzara (born September 22nd, 1981, Sheffield, Alabama), is the lead singer of the American Alternative Rock/Post Hardcore band, Taking Back Sunday. He lived in North Carolina before moving to Long Island. He inspired the quote by Brand New "Mics are for singing and not for swinging" due to his obsession for throw and swinging his microphone around everything, including, but not limited to: his neck, arms, legs, guitars, amps, people, mic stands.

He is capable of singing and screaming on his Studio albums, and his live shows are extremely energetic. They are sometimes characterized by frenic, often times appearing drunk, bursts of energy and vocals. The crowd loves to sing along and he loves to interact with as many of them as possible. He originally sang co-lead vocals with John Nolan, currently of Straylight Run (after a fairly bitter fight between the two of them), developed a very innovative dual vocal system of bickering friends through the lyrics. Fred Mascherino has since taken over Nolan's duties as singer/guitarist.
