Bayside respond to video criticism

Anthony Raneri from Bayside has lashed out at anyone who has criticized his band since MTV started airing their music video.

This is an exert taken from his blog...

"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 shit 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.

That's why I make music, so it can help people and give them something

to believe in and smile about. I'm not an elitist. I don't want to

alienate anyone and it's got nothing to do with money or popularity.

You don't have to be a certain level of cool to listen to Bayside. i

just want you to get it."
