Tell All Your Friends is the debut studio album by American rock band
Taking Back Sunday, released on March 26, 2002, through Victory
Records. Forming in 1999, the group underwent several line-up changes
before settling on vocalist Adam Lazzara, guitarist and vocalist John
Nolan (pictured), guitarist Eddie Reyes, bassist Shaun Cooper, and
drummer Mark O'Connell. They recorded the album with producer Sal
Villanueva at Big Blue Meenie Recording Studio in New Jersey. After the
release, they promoted it with various tours of the US alongside Brand
New and the Used. Nolan and Cooper then left the group in 2003 and were
replaced by Fred Mascherino and Matt Rubano, respectively. Soon
afterwards, they went on a co-headlining tour with Saves the Day to
close out the year. The album is the longest-running release of Victory
Records on the US Billboard magazine's Heatseekers and Independent
Albums charts at 68 and 78 weeks, respectively. Certified gold in the
