Today Bayside is in Cleveland, Ohio for the start of “The Involuntary Movement Tour” with Valancia, The Matches, and The Status. The tour is in support of the band’s new studio album, “Shudder,” release last week. The band also released “Live at the Social Club.” The band play The Fillmore NY at Irving Plaza on November 11, Philly’s Trocadero on November 15, and New Jersey’s Asbury Park on November 16. Tickets for NYC here, for PA here, and for NJ here.
“Shudder” is a great alternative-punk release, but with some downfalls. The too emo lyrics, like “I’m a failure, I’m a freak,” on “I Can’t Go On,” is only a taste of the high school loner lyrics you’ll get. Granted a bunch of the lyrics are easily relatable to any school kid. It does provide an outlet in that regard, but it still seems the band is touching on topics too far from their scopes four albums later. The single, “No One Understands,” as well as “Boy,” and “A Call to Arms,” are some of the best on the album. On “Moceanu,” Raneiri sings, “You attitude is old,” ha. Well, spelling out words in a song is lame. The song would be ok, if there wasn’t the spelling.
But, nothing beats a Bayside performance. The band has always been tight every time I’ve seen them and they play songs from each of their releases, including its acoustic cd. Check out tour dates below.
