Bayside are an American punk rock (and occasionally emo) band, formed in Queens, New York in the winter of 2000.
Their name is derived from a trip to a New Found Glory concert, at which they hoped to pass a demo tape to the band; they were still struggling to think of a name when they passed by Bayside train station in their native Queens. After self-releasing a five-track demo, they were signed to Dying Wish, where they put out their debut EP, ‘Long Stories Short EP’, in 2001. Afterwards, they’d go on to sign to Victory Records in 2003 after prodigious touring, where they released their full-length debut, ‘Sirens and Condolences’.
After that record was well-received, they went on to follow it up with a self-titled album in September of 2005 - just a few weeks later, though, tragedy would strike in the early hours of Halloween. Every band’s worst nightmare came true for Bayside when their tour van overturned, and drummer John Holohan was killed. Other members of the band sustained serious injuries, and part of the healing process involved the release of their ‘Acoustic’ album, which paid tribute to Holohan. In the years since, they’ve continued to carve out a burgeoning fanbase, despite several lineup changes. Frontman Anthony Ranieri is now the only original member. Their latest album, ‘Cult’, dropped in February 2014.
