Punk act Bayside has announced their forthcoming album There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive. The record serves as a follow up to their 2019 release Interrobang, and features tracks from the previously released The Red and The Blue EPs as well as six brand new songs. These new songs continue to blend introspective storytelling and Punk, Rock, and Metal elements.

Fans can currently stream Bayside’s new single from the album, “The Devils“. The new album is out digitally on April 5th, 2024 and physically on May 10th.

On the new single, frontman Anthony Raneri shares:

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.

Fans can also hear the new music live for the first time on Bayside’s forthcoming North American headline tour. The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour, kicking off on April 3rd in Pittsburgh, features support from Finch, Armor For Sleep, and Winona Fighter.

Additional stops on The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour include: Baltimore, Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and more.

There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive sees the band continuing to develop their sound, continuing the process underway on their previous two EPs.
