Cult unleashes some of the band’s tastiest riffs and strongest songs yet while broadening Bayside’s musical palate. Absolute Punk Cult doesn’t rock the boat so much as reinforce it against any potential wear and tear, with Bayside never sounding so fired up. Ranked #46 on The Top 50 Albums of 2014 Kerrang! Cult, released in 2014 is the bands sixth album and first for Hopeless Records. Imagine a year filled with both immense highs and soul-crushing lows: losing loved ones (grandfather, stepbrother, stepfather), finding love (getting married), starting a family (having a child), and building a foundation (building a house). Bayside’s frontman, Anthony Raneri, lived through this rollercoaster in 2009, and poured the raw emotions frustration, angst, love, and yearning into the album “Cult”.”
