Steve Aoki & Taking Back Sunday Team Up for New Song “Just Us Two”
American DJ Steve Aoki and Long Island NY-based rock band Taking Back Sunday teamed up to release a new song “Just Us Two”.
This marks the first collaboration between Steve Aoki and Taking Back Sunday.
For Steve Aoki, the song follows up “Kong 2.0” with Mexican rapper Natanael Cano, which was released last month.
Meanwhile Taking Back Sunday, the track is the first single after releasing 20th anniversary edition of “Tell All Your Friends”.
The track was written by Steve Aoki, Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, Mark O'Connell and Shaun Cooper. Produced by Steve Aoki.
Steve Aoki and Taking Back Sunday have already shot a music video in a haunted motel, which will be premiered soon.
“I met up with Taking Back Sunday in Charlotte, North Carolina and we recorded the song live in a physical recording studio, honing in on the group's powerful instrumentation,” Steve Aoki said of the collaboration. “I come from a punk background and it's always so good to work with artists that share the same passion for live music. This record encapsulates both of our roots while maintaining the Aoki elements that bound the track together.”- “Getting a call asking if we wanted to write with Steve Aoki was very surreal,” the band frontman Adam Lazzara said. “Steve comes from a very similar background as we do, house shows, DIY labels, the whole thing. We were listening back to different ideas he had, and one guitar part in particular caught our drummer Mark's ear. We approached it in the same way we do our own songs, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Turns out our worlds aren't as far apart as people might think.”
