After three years from the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Endings of a New Kind’, Taken by Cars is geared up to release their highly anticipated sophomore effort, ‘Dualist’.

Over the past three years, TbC has gone through an array of challenges in completing the second album. Starting with a lineup change when former bassist, Benny Yap, decided to focus more on his personal career and left the bass duties to the capable hands of Isa Garcia (of the former Bitter Pill). TbC has also been heavily promoting their 1st release by gigging relentlessly in and out of the Metro, highlighted by their performance in the 2009 Baybeats Music Festival in Singapore as a representative from the Philippines in this highly-regarded music festival. And in a more festive and personal note, two members from the band decided to settle down and tie the note with their significant other during this span.

In early 2011, Time Magazine named Taken by Cars as one of the bands to watch for in 2011. Expectations have never been higher and the pressure has been mounting, but TbC is ready to conquer them all once again. The 11-track ‘Dualist’ features a more personal and mature approach on TbC’s signature dance rock sound, which encompasses all the highs and lows the band has gone through over the past three years.
