Bayside have introduced their ninth album and first since 2019, There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive, due April 5 by way of Hopeless Records. It follows their current Red and Blue EPs, from 2022 and 2023, respectively, and consists of three songs from these EPs (“Strangest Faces,” “Go To Hell,” and “How To Ruin Everything” feat. Ice Nine Kills), plus current single “Castaway” and new single “The Devils.”
About the new tune, vocalist Anthony Raneri says, “We just wanted to write a ripper that keeps you on your toes. The chant was a melody that I kept humming to myself when I was walking my dogs. I put some words to it, and we were going to use it as a bridge. We loved it so much we thought the song had to start that way.” Check it out under.

Bayside will have a good time the new album on their not too long ago introduced tour with Finch and Armor For Sleep, which guarantees a triple dose of 2000s emo nostalgia. “It’s been close to 20 years since we played a show with either band,” Raneri says. “So excited to finally run it back.” The tour additionally options help from newer pop punk/emo torch carriers Winona Fighter. All dates under.
