Pop-punk veterans Bayside recently signed to Hopeless Records and are getting ready to release their new album “Cult” this upcoming February.
The band has just released a little lyric video for the song “Pigsty”, which will appear on the new album, and you can heck it out below.
Here’s what vocalist Anthony Raneri had to say about the making of “Cult” and it’s sound:
I lost my grandfather, stepfather and stepbrother in a four month span during the making of this record. As a counterbalance, I also got married, had my first child, and built my first home. The whole year was an example of how hard and wonderful life can be, and how quickly your world can change…Cult, in a way, is the Bayside discography without using any old songs…to me, it is every characteristic of every Bayside record all mashed in to one. It is the earnestness of “Sirens”, the riskiness and creativity of our self titled record and “Walking Wounded”, the quirkiness of “Shudder” and the experienced solid songwriting and aggression of “Killing Time”.
The band has just announced a spring overseas tour with Alkaline Trio. Dates and locations can be found here.
