Bayside have announced a full-band acoustic tour in support of their forthcoming album, Acoustic Volume 2. To celebrate the release, the band invites fans to join them, along with special guest Golds, for an incredibly special evening with an entire set of completely re-imagined songs.
The two-part tour kicks off on November 24th in Chicago, and includes stops in Brooklyn, Atlanta, Orlando, Houston, Los Angeles, and more. Presale tickets and VIP packages can be purchased online at Bayside.Shofetti.com. General on sale will begin this Friday, August 24th at 12pm ET.
Acoustic Volume 2 will be released on September 28th, 2018 via Hopeless Records. The record features one brand new track, “It Don’t Exist,” in addition to ten re-imagined versions of songs from across the band’s discography. Fans can check out the music video for “It Don’t Exist,” which stars actors Jonah Ray (Mystery Science Theater 3000) and Deanna Rooney (Hidden America), here: smarturl.it/ItDontExistVideo.

Acoustic Volume 2 was crafted in Franklin, Tennessee with Jon Howard, a musician and producer who has worked with Paramore, Dashboard Confessional, and New Found Glory. Howard is part of a hyper local community outside of Nashville that includes members of those bands, as well as Yellowcard, Saves The Day, Grammy winning producer Nick Raskulinecz, and Raneri, among others.
It was liberating for Raneri and longtime members Jack O’Shea (lead guitar), Nick Ghanbarian (bass), and Chris Guglielmo(drums) to tear down the walls, playing the songs any way they wanted, as though they had just been written for the first time.
In every note of the vibrant Acoustic Volume 2, a record that conjures the spirit of classic performances like Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged or The Cure’s most adventurous outings, Bayside serves up a confident reminder of their firmly established place in the rock music landscape. It’s evident – from all of the lyrics tattooed on fans, the cover version and tributes that permeate YouTube, and the obsessive supporters worldwide – why Bayside continues to thrive on the strength of these very songs.
Bayside will release Acoustic Volume 2 on September 28th, 2018. It is now available for pre-order at: smarturl.it/AcousticVolume2.
