Background and production

In December 2004, the band posted "Existing in a Crisis (Evelyn)" on their PureVolume profile; that same month, they supported My Chemical Romance for two shows.[1] They played a few East Coast shows, and appeared at the South by Southwest music conference, leading up to the recording of their next album.[2]

Bayside was recorded at Sheppard Music in New York City in March and April 2005, with Shep Goodman and Kenny Gioia acting as producers and engineers. The pair also mixed the album, before it was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side in Tenafly, New Jersey.[3]

Release

Following the end of recording, Bayside performed at The Bamboozle festival, and toured the East Coast with the Junior Varsity and Just Surrender in May 2005.[2][4] Following this, they performed at a handful of dates as part of the Zumiez Couch Tour.[5] Between July and September, the band toured with Vendetta Red, A Fall Farewell and Nightmare of You.[6][7][8] "Devotion and Desire" was released to radio on July 26, 2005.[9] After initially being scheduled for July 2005, Bayside was released on August 23 through Victory Records.[10][11] Following this, they went on a cross-country US tour with I Am the Avalanche, June, and the Forecast, running into October 2005.[12] That same month, Bayside toured the UK with labelmates Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein and Spitalfield; it lead into a two-month tour of the US with those same acts, plus Aiden, dubbed the Never Sleep Again Tour.[7][13]

On October 31, 2005, while the band was travelling to Cheyenne, Wyoming, they were involved in a van accident. The vehicle flipped over when it ran over a patch of ice, killing drummer John "Beatz" Holohan, and hospitalizing bassist Nick Ghanbarian in the process.[14] Ghanbarian said in a statement that he had broken his L4 vertebrae, which required surgery. Frontman Anthony Raneri and guitarist Jack O'Shea re-joined the tour from the St. Petersburg, Florida, performing acoustically until its conclusion.[15] In January and February 2006, they band went on the Western Migration tour, which included the Junior Varsity, Punchline and Sullivan. Holohan and Ghanbarian's roles were temporarily filled by Gavin Miller of Staring Back and Nick Testa of A Day in the Life, respectively.[16] Following this, the group supported Smoking Popes on their tour of the US until March 2006.[17] In April, the band supported Protest the Hero on their Canadian tour, dubbed Tour and Loathing.[18] Following this, they appeared at The Bamboozle festival.[19] In May and June, the band went on the Lions Tigers and Bears Tour, with the Sleeping, I Am the Avalanche, Hit the Lights, Halifax, and the Loved Ones.[20][21] For this trek, Ghanbarian re-joined the band.[20] In between dates on this tour, the band played a number of in-store performances at music stores.[22] In August, the band went on a brief tour alongside Spitalfield, Valencia, and This Is Hell.[23][24]
