  Where do I start... Alright, so that is Bayside. They are a nice little trio from New York. Their music is best labeled as "pop punk". Although, I wouldn't necessarily agree with that whole-heartedly. I mean, yes, you do HEAR pop punk, but if you actually pay attention to the lyrics you should get a bit of a different message. Say...TOTAL DEATH? Yes, Mr. Raneri does have a "happy" way of letting out his "angry"emotions.

Live performances are not bad at all from these boys. Lead vocals are present and he keeps a steady guitar. Even when a guitar(or two) goes out of tune, they stay on top of it in their weird way. The bassist stays on top of his stuff as well. The drummer is a performer(throws some arms in the air and such). Only complaint live is that back vocals aren't there live nearly as much as they are on the EP. Cheers, keep it up!

Jason getting his nose picked by Jamie.
  Sounds like... Vocals sound like...nothing i've heard before. Well yes, he has a normal voice, but its got that weird tone to it that is one of a kind. You know, like Billie Jo Armstrong from Green Day. Can't find that voice anywhere else! That's a fact...don't question it.

Guitars sound like...I'll go with blink 182. My head hurts from thinking about school and that is the only pop punk band i can think of...even though they sound nothing alike.

Bass sounds like...bass. Its not like the boy busts out anything AMAZING, but none-the-less, he most definately does not suck.

Drums sound like...Jason? He keeps a nice beat. Adds in some pisazz to the songs. I'm not good with critiquing drummers? He is nice? Does that count?...stop staring at this part.

MAN...Andrew sure does get into that there bass playing.


Sure fire winners...
