A rock band from New York, Bayside has been around since 2000, with 6 previous albums released. We hooked up with the guys at the Salt Lounge in London after they had a run to the pizza place down the street. Anthony, Jack, Chris and Nick chilled out on the couches and answered our questions. While we’re told to “Wang Chung” as one brilliant piece of advice, these guys are also pretty deep and lighthearted. Yes, both, deep and lighthearted, it works. We wanted to know how the band adjusted to the passing of their friend and band mate, drummer John ‘Beatz’ Holohan, after a car accident on October 31, 2005 – and are reminded to “celebrate life”.
