Bayside

Technical guitar work and theatrical minor-key melodies define this landmark of cynical emo. A masterclass in balancing aggression with melodic vulnerability.

It's the ultimate soundtrack for when you're feeling bitter but you still want to scream along to a great chorus.

A defiant and cynical exploration of heartbreak and self-loathing delivered through sharp, technical rock.

Dear Tragedy

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive opening riff of Devotion and Desire that immediately establishes the album's technical yet melodic aggression.

The transition from the acoustic vulnerability of Don't Call Me Peanut into the full-band catharsis of the final chorus.

The jarringly dark lyrical imagery in Dear Tragedy paired with a soaring, almost triumphant vocal melody.
