“In our 13 years as a band we have released records through a bunch of labels and different situations. When we were looking for a label this time around, we really set out to find a label that could be our last label. We wanted to be somewhere that was actually emotionally invested in their bands no matter what the bands potential or situation was. Hopeless really had the family vibe that we were looking for. We have already had friends on the label and we hit it off with the staff on a personal level immediately. It is nice to have a label that feels like a member of your team instead of a third party.”

Bayside and Motion City Sountrack are about to embark on their co-headling tour this fall, which kicks off October 5 in Clifton Park, NY at Upstate Concert Hall.

“No way, not at all,” front man Jeremy Bolm says when asked if he would ever play Warped Tour. “Nothing against our friends who have done it. Last year, Title Fight; this year, Defeater is doing it, which is fine. I appreciate that there are honest bands that are on it.”

Bolm continues, “There are kids who have no idea about this world, who if they see a band like Title Fight or a band like Defeater that maybe it will open their eyes a little bit to our world as opposed to a world with misogyny and ignorance and nothing to offer any-body which is what 95 percent of what Warped Tour is.”

The band get their own brand of post-hardcore from such bands as Pg. 99 and Orchid. “When the band started, we loved a lot of that '90s screamo stuff,” Bolm says, “but the hardcore kids in us sort of took a step out–or further, where we didn't just sound like a straightforward, '90s screamo band. There were hardcore elements.”

The band's new album Is Survived By is due for release September 28 via Deathwish Inc.

“To quote Black Flag, 'I am not a machine'. Dammit. Ever since Bonnaroo Festival (back in June) I’ve had a slight issue with my back. As of last weekend, 30 something shows later, it’s become a serious thing, and despite my best efforts to ignore it, bully it into submission or just punk rock through the whole thing, it’s a problem I need to deal with. My doctor has sent me in for a spinal epidural shot tomorrow, which means there is no way I can play at Pukkelpop, Gampel or Highfield Festivals this weekend.

Anyone who knows me even vaguely will know that, as well as being in a fair amount of pain, I’m filled with rage at my puny weakling back for letting me down, not to mention all the people at the shows. I can only humbly apologise. Hopefully I can sort this issue now and going forward I’ll be fine to keep touring til I’m old and gray.

Speaking of the future, people coming to Hatfield, Reading and Leeds need not worry – the shows will go ahead, we are working on a plan, and if I have to do them in a goddamn wheelchair I will. Everyone in my team, from the Sleeping Souls on down, are being really great about making sure that the show goes on. Thanks for your patience and good wishes.”

His North America tour kicks off in Cleveland, Ohio, October 4 in support of his album Tape Deck Heart.
