NEW
YORK, NY - Victory recording
artists BAYSIDE exited the studio just a few
weeks ago and put the finishing touches on The Walking
Wounded, the follow-up to their critically and
commercially-acclaimed self-titled studio album which is set
for release on February 6, 2007. The Long Island-based
foursome's album is threatening to take them from indie rock
darlings to a formidable rock entity. " The making of this
record has been my entire life for the last five months,"
says vocal/guitarist Anthony Raneri.
In February, Bayside will be kicking
off album release with a handful of hometown shows followed
with a national tour directly supporting Anberlin along with
Meg & Dia and Jonezetta (tour dates below) with
many more dates to be announced.

Packed with melodic, energy-laden
rockers like "Head on a Plate", "Dear Your Holiness",
and "I and I", The Walking Wounded is the
record that Bayside needed to make... an album rife with the
lessons learned, increasingly intricate and infectious music,
and three steps forward in experience, precision and complexity.
Orchestral at times while raucous and punk-infused in others,
Bayside have pulled together their bombastic rhythm section,
searing guitar work, and Raneri's trademark note-jumping vocals.
The first single "Duality" is the perfect example
of the band's musical synergy which is evident throughout the
feverishly cohesive album's twelve-tracks.
Holed up in General
Studios on Long Island during the last two months,
the band worked with the production team of Kenny Gioia
and Shep Goodman (Lee Ann Womack,
Hall & Oates, Mandy Moore) for a second time. "We
had alot more time to make this record and a little more money,"
he explains about the recording of this record. "We wrote
most of the last record on the road which really wasn't as inspiring
as it sounds. This time around, however, we took some time to
sit at home and write the record that we wanted to write. We're
recording in bigger studios this time as well, which definitely
makes for bigger sounds. Also, this being the second time around
with Shep and Kenny producing, everyone knows everyone... everyone
is comfortable. I know what they're going to say before they
say it and vice versa."
Bayside is
Anthony Raneri (guitars/vocals), Jack
O'Shea (guitar), Christopher J. Guglielmo
(drums) and Nick Ghanbarian (bass). The
Walking Wounded is slated for release on Victory
Records on February 6, 2007. Previous albums
included Sirens and Condolences (2004)
which sold over 50,000 and Bayside
(2005) which sold 60,000.
