Bayside are teaming up for a headlining tour with two other giants of mid-2000s emo-pop, Finch and Armor For Sleep, plus support from newer Nashville pop punks Winona Fighter, and they’ve also released a new song for the occasion.
The song, “Castaway,” is fast, catchy, and classic Bayside. “I think ‘Castaway’ is one of the most exciting songs that we’ve written in 24 years,” vocalist Anthony Raneri says. “We really wanted to keep the listener on their toes and on the edge of their seat. We hope that between the fast pace, odd timings, and metaphors that as soon as it’s over, you need to listen again.” Check it out below.

Dubbed “The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour,” Bayside’s tour kicks off on April 3 and wraps up on May 5, hitting NYC, Boston, Philly, Nashville, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, and several other cities. “We’re so excited to be touring with a couple of real pioneers in this genre,” Raneri says of Finch and Armor For Sleep. “It’s been close to 20 years since we played a show with either band. So excited to finally run it back.”
Tickets go on sale today (Jan. 26) at noon ET. See all dates below.
