New York's "Taking Back Sunday" will appear as themselves in a new episode of The N's hit teen drama "Degrassi: The Next Generation," premiering Friday, January 12th at 8pm EST.

In the episode entitled "What's It Feel Like to Be a Ghost?" - after the band's song of the same name - aspiring musician and "Degrassi" bad boy, Craig Manning joins "Taking Back Sunday" for a one-night-only gig, but soon finds that his new habit of 'partying like a rock star' may get in the way of his dream career and dream girl. "Degrassi: The Next Generation" is the winner of both a Television Critics Association Award and a Teen Choice Summer Series Award.

"Taking Back Sunday" have been busy this holiday season, having just completed a series of December radio shows, recorded a holiday song called "12 Days of Christmas (Christmas Is For The Birds)" for AOL Sessions, and performed their hit Modern Rock single "Liar (It Takes One to Know One)" on "The Late Show With David Letterman" on December 20th. In addition, Warner Brothers Records has just released a special CD/DVD edition of the band's gold-certified third album "Louder Now", entitled "Louder Now: Part One", which includes music videos, live clips, and behind the scenes footage.
