For 25 years, Queens-based Bayside has represented a lifestyle, a counterculture, and a deeply-held commitment to integrity and earnestness. At their core, Bayside has constantly proven that music is not about gimmicks and ephemeral trends, but a timeless reflection of our life and our times.
It’s a spirit that permeates an impressive discography - Sirens and Condolences, Bayside, The Walking Wounded and Shudder. Covering the “Victory Records Years,” Bayside grew their reputation as road warriors. From basements to clubs to festivals, ubiquitous sing-alongs followed wherever they went, with fans flocking to Anthony Raneri’s personal, yet universal lyrics.
In the second half of their legendary career, covering the “Wind-Up and Hopeless Records Years,” Bayside embraced the heavier side of themselves, while keeping the anthemic choruses of the earlier years. With Killing Time, Cult, Vacancy, Interrobang, and There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive, the band focused on songs that are relevant to people who want substance, rather than being relegated to one genre. In 2023, the band collaborated with Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills on their rock anthem, “How To Ruin To Ruin Everything (Patience)” - charting at SiriusXM Octane.
Having toured the world multiple times over, with thousands of albums sold, Bayside has achieved a lot in their storied career, but the band continues to prove time and again that the best is yet to come.
