Bayside to say goodbye to Victory Records

Tim Karan on 6/1/09 @ 1:14 PM

Bayside members Jack O'Shea (guitar/vocals) and Nick Ghanbarian (bass) recently spilled the juicy beans that the band are leaving Victory Records--their home since 2004's Sirens And Condolences. While talking about the band's upcoming full-length, Ghanbarian said:

"We don't have a record label at the moment so, that's kind of a big thing in our lives, we need to figure who will put it out first. Anthony [Raneri, vocals/guitar] is always writing new things but we haven't come together as a band yet to try and start writing. The process, in some ways, has slowly started because we know we are creeping up to a time where we need to find our new label."

O'Shea went on to add:

"We haven't formally been speaking with anyone because we are still under contract with Victory, with the support of this record. Out of respect for our contractual obligation, we are refraining from speaking to anyone formally about any plans. I think we did everything we could with our time with Victory, our contract was up and it was time for us to move on and do something different. We wish them all the best in the future."

Bayside are scheduled to play four fan-requested sets at shows beginning June 11 before frontman Anthony Raneri goes on his own for several solo shows. The band will then play this summer's Warped Tour.
