Taking Back Sunday reveal video for ‘Better Homes And Gardens’

Ahead of their appearance at this weekend’s Slam Dunk events across the UK, Taking Back Sunday have unveiled a video for ‘Better Homes And Gardens’, a track featured on last year’s ‘Happiness Is’.

“Eddie (Reyes) had this wonderful idea of watching a home burn to the soundtrack of “Better Homes And Gardens,” said vocalist Adam Lazzara. “With the help of the Greensboro fire department we were able to make that happen. As I was sitting there watching the house burn, and they were running playback of the song, there couldn’t have been anything more fitting. It was very emotional.”

“It was an awesome experience working with Adam again on this shoot,” adds director DJay Brawner. “We got to collaborate a lot on this one, figuring out how we would achieve this, where we would achieve it, and what kind of performance we wanted from him. This song was an emotional one for him, but we kept it real which was a lot of fun. It was the most intense 3hrs of filming I’ve ever been a part of. ”

In addition to their sets at Slam Dunk in Leeds, Wolverhampton and Hatfield, the band play a tiny warm-up at London’s Rhythm Factory on Friday, and Kingston’s New Slang - with instore at Banquet Records beforehand, on Thursday.
