Adam and John Nolan weren't having good chemistry anymore and John wanted to persue a more piano/vocal driven band. Another person guitarist from Taking Back Sunday split from the band also to help create thenew band. With the help of Michelle (John's sister) and the drummer from Breaking Pangea they were ready to start Straylight Run.
Because of the previous reputation of taking back sunday, the band quickly flourished and started creating songs like "The tension and the terror" Due to some legal recording issues they decided to give out songs through their website which can be downloaded at www.straylightrun.com. They played at Surf and Skate and having many fans including myself cheering them on.
Most songs have the piano as the main instrument either played by John or Michelle. Usually Michelle accompanies John's voice but she has one song where she has the main voice.
