Their first release came in 2001 with the Taking Back Sunday EP and featured Antonio Longo on vocals, John Nolan on guitar and backing vocals, Eddie Reyes on guitar (the original founder of the band), Adam Lazzara on bass, and Mark O'Connell on drums. This CD was distributed at Taking Back Sunday shows, but never achieved any noteworthy success. Following a change of lineup (Antonio Longo, who left the band, to Adam Lazzara and Shaun Cooper took Adam Lazzara's former spot) they released the follow-up album Tell All Your Friends, which was produced by Sal Villaneuva. The album gave the band a first taste of success in the scene. After the release, they played with bands such as Brand New and The Used, as well as performing as a short stint on the 2003 Vans Warped Tour. Another change in their lineup occurred when singer/guitarist John Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper left the band and formed their own band, Straylight Run. Shaun Cooper and John Nolan discussed their decision to leave the band in April 2003;

This was trouble for the band as they were planning their next single You're So Last Summer.
Because of these departures, the band's future was in doubt for some time. However, with the additions of guitarist/vocalist Fred Mascherino and bassist Matt Rubano, the band became stabilized. Then they could start filming for You're So Last Summer.
The year 2004 proved to be successful for Taking Back Sunday, with the band opening for Blink-182 and being one of the main headliners for the Vans Warped Tour. In addition, their second album, titled Where You Want to Be, was released on July 27, 2004 on Victory Records. This album, although having a slightly different sound than Tell All Your Friends and only marginly different than their first album, managed to do well commercially. Propelled by the single A Decade Under the Influence, Where You Want to Be went on to debut at the #3 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with sales of around 163,000 copies. Taking Back Sunday received even more mainstream exposure by appearing (on the day of Where You Want to Be's release) on the late night talk shows Jimmy Kimmel Live and Loveline, and by contributing the song "This Photograph Is Proof (I Know You Know)" to the soundtrack for Spider-Man 2. They also contributed the song "Your Own Disaster" to the Elektra soundtrack, and the original version of "Error: Operator" to both the Fantastic Four soundtrack and tie-in video game, where it served as Mr. Fantastic's theme. An instrumental version is also used as background music within the game.
On April 25, 2006, Taking Back Sunday released their third album, entitled Louder Now, on Warner Bros. Records. It nearly mirrors the first two albums in style and message, yet delivers with a more polished sound. Louder Now was leaked onto the Internet in its entirety on April 19, 2006. Taking Back Sunday received mainstream exposure by appearing on the late night talk shows The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
In April 2006, Taking Back Sunday took part in the 2-day "Give It a Name" indoor rock festival in England. The band played at Manchester Evening News Arena on Saturday, April 29 and London Earls Court on Sunday, April 30. During the first song of their set at the Earls Court show, Adam Lazzara accidentally hit Matt Rubano on the head while swinging his microphone and knocked him out cold. He was rushed backstage for medical treatment. Rubano later returned to the stage sporting a large head-bandage and a noticeable amount of blood on his face. Following his return to the stage, Rubano continued to play while sitting down. In a less noted incident, during the band's last song at the MEN show, the pedal to the bass drum broke, and the band had to stall while a replacement was found and installed. The band released the follow-up single to MakeDamnSure, Twenty-Twenty Surgery, on August 21 2006 in the UK. The video depicts Lazzara as Johnny Cash. Taking Back Sunday embarked on their North American Tour on February 22, 2007 at Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, PA with supporting bands Underoath and Armor for Sleep. This tour was sort of a throw back where they featured older songs from previous albums, and they played the song "Brooklyn (If You See Something, Say Something)" for the first time live.
In April 2007 they supported Lostprophets on their UK arena tour, along with Aiden. On April 6, 2007 it was confirmed by Linkin Park's Joe Hahn that the band will be part of the 2007 Projekt Revolution tour with Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Placebo, HIM, Saosin and others.
They have announced they are about to start work on a new album.

После отличного лета, проведенного в качестве разогревающей команды в турне Green Day по Великобритании и ошеломляющего успеха скейтерского эмо-панк-рока Taking Back Sunday, альбом Louder Now выводит фирменное сочетание многослойного вокала группы и её симбиоз хардкор-поп-рок звучания на ещё более высокий уровень. Louder Now (Теперь Громче) – это не только название третьего альбома Taking Back Sunday и их дебютной работы для крупного звукозаписывающего лейбла (Warner Bros.), выпущенной в апреле 2006 года, но и точная характеристика нынешнего саунда группы. Название Louder Now прекрасно подходит для этого супер-лаконичного, агрессивного альбома. Новые песни Taking Back Sunday на самом деле стали громче, напряженнее и стремительнее, они приобрели по-настоящему эпическое звучание. Образно выражаясь, в своих громких заявлениях группа теперь ставит ещё больше восклицательных знаков. Авторское мастерство участников коллектива значительно улучшилось, а их музыка вполне подходит для стадионных выступлений. Предыдущий альбом группы добрался до третьего места хит-парада журнала Billboard, но Louder Now даже превосходит его по качеству. Здесь нет ничего лишнего, а энергия не растрачивается попусту. Новый альбом выиграл ещё и от того, что к его созданию приложил руку продюсер Эрик Валентайн (Lostprophets, Queens Of The Stone Age), проявивший удивительную гибкость и предоставивший группе массу свободного пространства как для размышлений, так и для грохота и взрывов.
