Biography

John Nolan is the co-vocalist/guitarist of Taking Back Sunday and the former lead singer of Straylight Run.

John Thomas Nolan was born on February 24, 1978 in Rockville Centre, Nassau County, New York, but grew up in Baldwin, Nassau County, New York. He attended school with Brand New member Jesse Lacey. He used to be in the band Jennifer’s Dream, and also Straylight Run. He and Taking Back Sunday bandmate Shaun Cooper left Taking Back Sunday because they felt they were headed in a different direction in music. The two formed Straylight Run in May 2003 and brought in Will Noon, formerly of Breaking Pangaea, as their drummer and John’s sister, Michelle Nolan, as their second vocalist/guitarist/pianist. John started out playing the guitar, then branched out into the piano and even took a few violin lessons. In early 2010, Straylight Run announced their indefinite hiatus, and soon returned to Taking Back Sunday once more. On Straylight Run’s debut album, he sings and plays the guitar, piano, and glockenspiel. He is currently married to photographer Camille Nolan.

    I like Height but it doesn't compare to the Straylight Run records.

    After listening to Height, I'm starting to doubt how well he can do being back in Taking Back Sunday. I'd much rather hear another solo album. I love TBS, but John really shines more solo rather than in a band.

    What the heck's the difference between John Nolan and SR anymore? I see no difference in their sound, especially with SR's recent releases. Might as well just merge the two, or do away with the other guys in SR.

    you can only like, but never love, something 30 seconds in. if you're still wearing it out 3 years from now, then you know you love it

    You can judge an album's lasting value the first time you listen to it; it's all about personal opinion. Personally, I can tell whether I'm going to like an album from the first thirty seconds of the first song, but that's me and everyone is different. I knew I loved Height thirty seconds in.

    @helloimjoshua How the hell can you judge its lasting value when it has been out for barely more than a week? [2]
