Bayside Shares “Castaway”

By

Bayside

Esteemed punk act Bayside is thrilled to share their new single “Castaway”, out now via Hopeless Records. Fans can stream the new track – the band’s first since 2023’s The Blue EP – now, here: ffm.to/baysidecastaway

About the new single, front man Anthony Raneri shares: “I think ‘Castaway’ is one of the most exciting songs that we’ve written in 24 years. We really wanted to keep the listener on their toes and on the edge of their seat. We hope that between the fast pace, odd timings, and metaphors that as soon as it’s over, you need to listen again”

Fans can hear “Castaway” live for the first time on Bayside’s forthcoming North American headline tour. The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour, kicking off on April 3rd in Pittsburgh, features support from Finch, Armor For Sleep, and Winona Fighter. Raneri adds: “We’re so excited to be touring with a couple of real pioneers in this genre. It’s been close to 20 years since we played a show with either band. So excited to finally run it back.”

Additional stops on The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour include: Baltimore, Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and more. Tickets, including VIP packages, will be available this Friday, January 26th at 12pm ET. Click here for tickets & info.

For the past 22 years, Queens-based Bayside has represented a lifestyle, a counterculture, and a deeply held conviction, diverse in thought and background but united by a shared desire for authentic expression. At their core, Bayside is a band that has constantly proved that music is not about gimmicks and ephemeral trends, but a timeless reflection of our lives and our times. It is through this timelessness and consistency that they continue to cultivate a cult-following that lives and breathes everything the band creates.

Bayside has always focused on creating songs that are relevant to people who want substance, rather than being relegated to one genre. And while many bands would coast on their past success, Bayside rejects the premise and proves time and again that the best is yet to come.

In 2022, Bayside released The Red EP, marking their first new music since 2019’s Interrobang‽. The EP’s three songs saw the band refining their unique brand of punk rock even further, with powerful, hard-hitting melodies. With 2023’s The Blue EP, Bayside further honed their sound, blending heavier influences with the band’s melodic punk roots.

“Castaway” sees the band continuing to lean into their brasher side, with its breakneck pace, searing guitars, and driving percussion. Stream “Castaway” now, here, and stay tuned for more new music coming soon.

4/3 – Pittsburgh, PA @ Roxian Theatre

Green Day – Saviors | Album Review

By
Luke Spencer
-


A slight return to form for the band. After Father Of All, Green Day played this one safe while still delivering some big hooks. Some of the best tracks are the short two minute blasts like “Look Ma, No Brains!” and “Living In The ’20s”. Along with that, “Coma City” also was a pleasant surprise. There is definite filler in the album however. “Bobby Sox” and “Suzie Chapstick”, despite fun names, are absolutely unnecessary. Other songs like “The American Dream Is Killing Me” have good lyrics but sound similar to much of Green Day’s past standard four-chord discography. Saviors has more hits than misses and you can still hear the fuel ignite from the pop-punk trio 20 years after American Idiot. 7/10

Best Tracks:
Coma City*
Living In The ’20s*

Green Day Saviors
Green Day Saviors Album Review
Green Day “Look Ma, No Brains!”
Green Day “Coma City”

___

“Green Day’s latest album, “Saviors,” has garnered mixed reviews from both critics and fans. Some highlights of the album include:
-A return to the band’s classic sound, with echoes of their earlier albums “Dookie” (1994) and “American Idiot” (2004)
-A sharp and sarcastic take on the sociopolitical landscape, with a caustic humor and contagious melodies
-A handsome bookend to “American Idiot,” with a more refined and critical approach to the cultural currency of their release
However, some critics argue that the album is:
-Laboured and world-weary, with a sense of weary resignation in the lyrics
-Sonically competent but safe, stale, and predictable, lacking the impenetrable hooks and songwriting abilities of their earlier work.
-Filled with tracks that sound like lesser versions of other songs throughout Green Day’s discography.
Despite the mixed reviews, fans have generally viewed “Saviors” as an uptick in Green Day’s career, particularly compared to their previous albums. The album has received positive responses from both fans and critics, with some noting that it is a return to form for the band.” (Perplexity)

Watch it streaming below or via YouTube HERE. 

“Gaslighting, manipulation, narcissistic deceit and betrayal… this song was written while trapped and is sung now while free,” exclaims NOTHING MORE frontman Jonny Hawkins. “If you’re in toxic relationship and are waiting for a sign to get out…this is it.”

NOTHING MORE—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—will head overseas from February 1 to March 2 on a headlining run across the UK and Europe in continued support of the deluxe version of their 2022 acclaimed album SPIRITS (Better Noise Music).

Atmospheric metalcore trailblazers Invent Animate are kicking off 2024 by releasing their new single “Sleepless Deathbed“ and the accompanying visualizer (via UNFD). Prior to today, the band released the titular album title track “Heavener“ and the official music video from their phenomenal latest album. When asked about the inspiration behind today’s release, the band shared:

“The song is about hallucinating a state of your own death and being stuck in that lifeless plane of constant and repeating discomfort. Where all your bad memories, big and small, are falling down on you in the form of rain and making you feel it all again, physically all at once. At a point, you start to think this might be death and that it might be like this forever. It weighs you down so much that your ground melts and you fall down through a static space through your own memories. The fall becomes the sleepless deathbed, where you’ve come to serve until the end of time. This is one of those songs that was written naturally, we knew we wanted something fast and heavy and we knew lyrics needed to represent physical panic.“

HEAVENER

For fans who purchase tickets through Ticketmaster for the “Teeth of God” tour and can’t attend, they will have the option to resell their ticket to other fans at the original price paid on Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange.

About Sleep Token:

2023 was the year of Sleep Token and 2024 is looking to be much the same.

The album has generated 400 million streams, whilst standout single “The Summoning” has generated 150 million streams alone, causing the track to trend on Twitter and take the #1 song spot on a host of international Spotify viral charts, as well as being selected as a “YouTube Trending Artist On The Rise,” featuring on YouTube’s homepage, viewed by millions of people every day. 

The unprecedented accolades keep rolling in, between the fact that ST has never played a headline show in the UK that didn’t sell out, “Aqua Regia” picking up consistent airplay on the Radio One “Future Sounds” show hosted by Clara Amfo, plus huge pop star Demi Lovato sharing Sleep Token’s music with her 153 million Instagram followers, Sleep Token consistently smash boundaries that they refused to acknowledge in the first place. 

And even though Sleep Token notoriously do not speak to the press (out of necessity, not ego or gimmick), media can’t help but write about the phenomenon, reporting on the band’s every move; NME note, “Sleep Token offer their fans an entire world to immerse themselves in if they so wish. It’s a place of escapism, and the foundation of a huge fan community that’s dedicated to studying the band’s creativity. While they have the same fervor as any other fandom, there’s still a notable difference.” Elsewhere, Metal Hammer called them “the most exciting band in metal right now.”
