Split EP

Bayside

Raw, unpolished emo from the band's earliest era. Jagged guitars and visceral lyrics define this document of suburban desperation and minor-key defiance.

Find on Amazon

It's the raw, bleeding heart of early 2000s emo before it got radio-friendly.

A bleak and unvarnished exploration of suburban isolation and internal collapse.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarringly blunt lyrical delivery of the chorus in Loveless Wrists where the music swells into a desperate anthem.
The transition into the atmospheric, graveyard-themed bridge of Answers We'll Never Get that showcases early theatrical ambitions.
The raw, unrefined vocal strain during the final minute of I Quit My Scene that captures a band still finding its voice.
