== Biography == |
|||
Born and raised in Amityville, NY, Reyes forgot his childhood dream of being an architect as well as turning down a full football scholarship to play music. His first band was Mind Over Matter, who he split ways with before their first full length release. Reyes then started the hardcore band, No Thought, with guitarist Josh DeMarco, Artie Philley, Russ Greiner and Paul Brinkmann. Paul eventually played bass in Silent Majority as well. On deciding their music was too melodic for a hardcore vocalist, they recruited vocalist "General" George Fullan and changed their name to Clockwise. Eddie played with Clockwise for quite a long time through many lineup changes until they decided to retire. One lineup change was guitarist DeMarco, who went to play for Eddie's former band, Mind Over Matter. Reyes was also a member of Inside during the period he was in Clockwise, and is still friendly with his ex-bandmates. He also started [[The Movielife]], and parted ways with them before they gained their full notoriety. Ironically he was replaced with guitarist Dave O'Connell (the brother of [[Taking Back Sunday]] bandmate [[Mark O'Connell (Drummer)]]). He then started the short-lived band Runner Up before going on to start [[Taking Back Sunday]]. |

In 2001, Eddie Reyes started [[Taking Back Sunday]] with fellow New Yorkers [[Jesse Lacey]], [[Mark O'Connell (Drummer)|Mark O'Connell]] and [[Antonio Longo]]. Lacey was replaced by North Carolinan bassist [[Adam Lazzara]] and they produced their first EP. The eldest and most experienced member of the band, Reyes convinced Lazzara to take up the job of the lead singer when [[Antonio Longo]] left, and helped recruit [[Shaun Cooper]] to take up the bass. When Taking Back Sunday went big, he left his job at a New York deli to play in the band full-time. |
