Longtime Taking Back Sunday, Brand New beef resurfaces

In the brilliant fashion of never letting old feuds die, Taking Back Sunday singer Adam Lazzara has again publicly called out Brand New's Jesse Lacey.

In the brilliant fashion of never letting old feuds die, Taking Back Sunday singer Adam Lazzara has publicly called out Brand New's Jesse Lacey.

What felt like water under the bridge has been resurfaced again when the 33 year-old singer dissed the former bassist in an interview with US publication, O.C. Weekly. Below is the snippet from the interview when Lazzara doesn't let old fires die.

"When asked about playing a song like "There's No 'I' In Team," which directly references a longstanding feud with the band Brand New (specifically front man/former Taking Back Sunday bassist Jesse Lacey), Lazzara continues to add fuel to the old fire.

"I think Jesse Lacey is just a dick," he says. "He just sucks. He's not a good person."

However the singer shows some form of adulthood right afterwards.

"Lazzara [sic] goes on

"Who am I to say?", he says. "There's somebody out there that's gonna say I'm not a good person. I don't know."

If you've followed the stupendous vendetta since its inception, then you'll know the fuel-adding song, 'There's No 'I' In Team' didn't really help matters. This continues the spotlight thrown over the the singer lately, as he was caught driving under the influence last week. You can read the full interview here.
