ME. - Mark O’Connell & Eddie Reyes (formerly of Taking Back Sunday)

Mark O'Connell and Eddie Reyes join Caught On The Mike to discuss the formation of their new band, ME., and the journey behind their debut album, ALL GOOD THINGS. After spending nearly a decade apart following their departures from Taking Back Sunday, Mark and Eddie reconnected with no expectations beyond making music together. What began as a creative experiment evolved into an entirely new band built on trust, growth, and a shared desire to move forward rather than revisit the past. In this conversation, we discuss the emotional story behind their debut single "Special," the process of writing without a frontman, bringing vocalist Mike Jansen into the fold through an open casting call, and why ME. represents a fresh start instead of a reunion. We also dive into creativity, accountability, personal growth, and what it means to build something new after years of experience in the music industry. This is an honest conversation about reinvention, friendship, and finding purpose in the next chapter. Listen to ME.'s debut single "Special" now and watch for their debut album ALL GOOD THINGS, arriving July 24, 2026. caughtonthemike@gmail.com www.caughtonthemike.com www.caughtonthemike.com caughtonthemike@gmail.com
