Bayside Announce UK Tour With Alkaline Trio And New Album 'Cult'

Bayside are set to release their new album 'Cult' on February 17, followed by a tour supporting Alkaline Trio in April 2014.
In their 13 years as a band, they’ve weathered their ups and downs without changing who they are or their sound. With a new label, Hopeless Records, Bayside are not only ready to continue their story but they’re ready to launch it with a brand new album.
Speaking about what is one of the band's most personal records, vocalist Anthony Raneri said:
“The year that we spent making this record was both the most difficult and most exciting time of my life. 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.
“We worked incredibly hard on this record. We wrote and re-wrote songs over and over. Jack was re-writing solos three and four times. I was fine tuning lyrics in the vocal booth making sure they were perfect. All four of us lost a lot of sleep over every decision that we made on this record. This is really our opus. We labored over this record more than ever before.”

Bayside will promote their new album with a return to the UK in April supporting Alkaline Trio. Tickets are on sale from 9am on Friday November 15, priced from £20 plus fees.
