Bayside Deny Their Emoness

(antiMusic) Bayside's Anthony Raneri issued a blog posting denying his band's emoness. Keep in mind that he was basically whining about being called emo, or being compared to other bands that sound pretty much exactly like Bayside and the zillion other bands that get featured on Fearless Records compilations. Punknews.org has the 411: Raneri has responded to the wealth of criticism his band has received since their video began airing on MTV. Anthony had this to say: I feel pretty confident in the fact that we don't sound like Boys Like Girls or All Time Low. Our music and lyrics are abrasive and they have a tendency to weed out the sh*t heads. Bayside is not and will never be casual listening. If you don't get it, you don't get it and that's all. If a 30 year old hardcore guys from Boston or a 20 year old Modest Mouse fan in Seattle or 15 year old teeny bopper from Dallas understands our band, like what we're doing and can relate to it in any way, then that's amazing. - more on this story
