Bayside S/T at 20 with Anthony Raneri

Author: brooklynvegan March 19, 2025 Duration: 1:30:52
2025 marks 25 years of Bayside and it also marks 20 years of their self-titled sophomore album, which vocalist/guitarist Anthony Raneri joined us on the BrooklynVegan podcast to discuss.   The album came at a pivotal moment for both the band and the 2000s emo boom that they were part of, and Anthony discusses all the factors that led to this album turning out the way it did, and the way it changed the band’s career forever. He discusses the impact that being from the Long Island scene and being surrounded by the meteoric rises of bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance had on this album, some of the big influences behind it, some of its more regrettable lyrics, and much more.   -- The BrooklynVegan Show is brought to you in part by DistroKid, a service for musicians that allows you to easily upload your music to all major streaming platforms.
