What they’re saying

“We first started playing shows with Bayside around Long Island and the greater tri-state area in the early 2000s… in basements and dive bars. The shows weren't very well attended but we were having the time of our lives.”

“Since those days, we've been fortunate enough to remain friends and share labels and stages across the globe. In 2012, Bayside was kind enough to join us in celebrating our 10 year anniversary of Tell All Your Friends. After 14 years, we thought it was about damn time we hit the road with them again. We can't wait to see you out there.”
