For the past 25 years, Queens-based Bayside has represented a lifestyle, a counterculture, anda deeply-heldcommitment to integrity and earnestness. At their core, Bayside is a band that hasconstantly proven that music is not about gimmicks and ephemeral trends, but a timelessreflection of our life and our times. It is through this authentic expression and creative spirit thatthe band has amassed a cult-following that lives and breathes everything the band creates.It’s a spirit that permeates an impressive and storied discography, includingSirens andCondolences(2004),Bayside(2005),The Walking Wounded(2007) andShudder(2008).Covering the “Victory Records Years,” Bayside grew their reputation as road warriors with theirimpressive amount of touring. From basements to clubs to Warped Tour, the band led melodioussing-alongs everywhere they went, withfans flocking to Anthony Raneri’s personal, yet universallyrics and story-telling. Fan favorites like “Devotion and Desire” and “Duality” continue to bestaples in the bands’ live show.While the band held strong to their punk roots, what set them apartfrom their peers was theirmusicianship. Diverse in thought and background, but united in a shared desire for authenticexpression and immense musical talent, Bayside continues to push the boundaries of what aBayside song could be. In the second half oftheir legendary career, covering the “Wind-Up andHopeless Records Years,” Bayside embraced the heavier and grittier side of themselves, whilekeeping the anthemic choruses of the earlier years. WithKilling Time(2011),Cult(2014),Vacancy(2016),Interrobang(2019), andThere Are Worse Things Than Being Alive(2024),the band focused on creating songs that are relevant to people who want substance, rather thanbeing relegated to one genre. In 2023, the band even collaborated with Spencer Charnas of IceNine Kills on their rock anthem, “How To Ruin Everything (Patience)”-their first song chartingat Sirius XM Octane.Having toured the world multiple times over, sold thousands of albums, and amassed millions ofstreams, Bayside has achieved a lot in their storied career. And while many bands would coaston their past success, Bayside has always rejected that premise and continues to prove time andagain that the best is yet to come.
