Bayside immediately began touring with no signs of letting up. Bayside has shared the stage with acts like Alkaline Trio, Brand New, Further Seems Forever, Glasseater, The Rocking Horse Winner, The Reunion Show, and Taking Back Sunday. They've also completed an east coast stint in support of The Stryder, as well as appearing at the 2002 Skate and Surf Fest, where the bill included bands such as The Get Up Kids, Midtown, Dashboard Confessional, and Finch. During the summer of 2002, Bayside played a three-week stretch on Van's Warped Tour. In October of the same year, Bayside embarked on their first full US tour with Unsung Zeros and Junction 18.
They also released a Split EP with Name Taken.
The Split featured the songs "Loveless Wrists", "Cold and Blue and Lifeless", "Just Enough To Love You", and "Answers We'll Never Get".
In the midst of all this touring several line up changes occurred, as the band strived to find the right mix of personalities and dedication to get them where they wanted to be. Through the many line up changes there has been two constants...singer/guitarist Anthony Raneri and lead guitarist Jack O'Shea.
Former members include Andrew Elderbaum, Jason Enz, Jim Mitchell, and Gavin Miller who was used as a temporary replacement drummer for John "Beatz".
Eventually Bayside found a compatible mix with the current line up: Anthony Raneri, Jack O'Shea, bassist Nick Ghanbarian, and drummer Chris Guglielmo. Also added during this time was the management of Jamie Arthurs of J&J Artist Management.
During that time, they were signed to Victory Records, the label with whom they have released 4 albums.
Their First album, "Sirens and Condolences", which featured the single "Masterpiece" which they filmed a music video for, and spawned a huge on-coming of fans everywhere. "Sirens and Condolences" also features: "Poison In My Veins", "Phone Call From Poland", "Talking Of Michaelangelo", "Alcohol And Alter Boys", "A Synonym For Acquiesce", "How To Fix Everything", "Kellum", "If You're Bored", "Just Enough To Love You", and "Guardrail".
They then released their second full length, "Bayside", which featured the hit single "Devotion and Desire" for which they filmed a music video, and helped Bayside to justify their place as one of the best up and coming punk/alternative bands today. "Bayside"
also featured: "Hello Shitty", "Tortures Of The Damned", "They Looked Like Strong Hands", "Montauk", "Blame It On Bad Luck", "We'll Be O.K.", "Existing In A Crisis (Evelyn)", "Don't Call Me Peanut", "Half A Life", and "Dear Tragedy".
Then tragedy struck.
On the first night of the Never Sleep Again Tour with label-mates Hawthorne Heights, Aiden, and Silverstein, the band was in a tragic van accident, which left Anthony and Jack slightly hurt, Nick seriously injured, and caused the death of John.
Anthony and Jack decided to re-embark on the tour, and do the remainder of their sets acoustic.
This led to the release of their 3rd full-length album, "Bayside Acoustic", in 2006, which consists of 10 tracks. A new acoustic song in memory of John "Beatz", entitled "Winter"; five acoustic versions of their older songs:"Blame It On Bad Luck","They Looked Like Strong Hands","Masterpiece", "Montauk", and "Devotion And Desire". One live track,"Don't Call Me Peanut". An all-new non-acoustic song, "Paternal Reversal".And two cover songs. One of The Smoking Popes' "Megan", and a cover of Elliott Smith's "Baby Britain". The album also includes a live DVD of the final show of the tour, at the House Of Blues in Chicago, Illinois.
The band released their fourth full-length album, "The Walking Wounded" on February 6th, 2007 on Victory Records. The first single off the album is entitled "Duality", for which they have a music video. The album also features the tracks "The Walking Wounded", "They're Not Horses, They're Unicorns","Carry On", I & I", "Choice Hops and Bottled Self-Esteem", "Head On A Plate", "Dear Your Holiness", "Landing Feet First", "Thankfully","A Rite Of Passage", and "(POP)Ular SciencE".
Anthony has also begun an attempt at a solo career, touring with the Bombers, and performing with Vinny Caruana of I Am The Avalanche. A solo record hasn't been verified yet.
The band recently released a music video for the song "Carry On", that is exclusive to Myspace.
They have also set the date for a re-release of "The Walking Wounded" due out on July 22, 2008.
On September 30th, 2008, they released their 5th full-length studio album "Shudder". Also, their live CD "Bayside: Live At the Bayside Social Club" was released on the same day. It was recorded on August 17th, 2008 at S.I.R. Studios in New York, where a few lucky fans from the Bayside Social Club were given the chance to attend the private show.
Something's Wrong
Bayside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Half past dead on Friday night
In a bar
Serving up confidence and fights
You were right when you told me I was wrong
When I said trends as sick as these never last long
And all the boys celebrate they're gender victory
sSomething's wrong with this one
Something's wrong with this one
I can't be the first one with the strength to curse my generation
Something's wrong
There's something wrong with me
Not to say that I know any more than you
But at least I can admit to care is the hardest thing we do
You were right when you told me I was wrong
When I said we'd only be blinded for so long
Something's wrong with this one
Something's wrong with this one
I can't be the first one with the strength to curse my generation
Something's wrong
Before you leave and close your tab
Raise your glass to the death of the generation gap
Unless of course you've got other plans
Who do you think you are?
And how'd you ever get this way
Putting lust above humanity and calling it ok
You were wrong when you told me I was right
When I said pleasure comes in ways you can't define
Something's wrong with this one
Something's wrong with this one
I can't be the first one with the strength to curse my generation
Something's wrong
Something's wrong
Something's wrong
Is something wrong with me?
The lyrics of Bayside’s “Something’s Wrong” express a sense of disillusionment towards the current state of society, more specifically towards the younger generation. The song starts with the singer expressing how he finds himself in a bar “half past dead on a Friday night, serving up confidence and fights.” This setting symbolizes the aimless, reckless behavior of many young adults. The singer feels a sense of discontent when he witnesses both boys and girls around him, celebrating their triumphs or defeats. He acknowledges that something is wrong with both his generation and himself.
The chorus repeats the line “Something’s wrong with this one,” emphasizing a feeling of unease and disconnect within society. The singer admits that he doesn’t know more than anyone else, but he’s willing to care and recognize that it’s the hardest thing to do. He seems to be frustrated with the lack of accountability and individual responsibility in society today. The second verse reverses the roles from the first, where the singer addresses someone who had once corrected him. This time he believes that he knows the truth, and his companion doesn't agree. He calls out those who prioritize their lusts and desires over humanity and consider it acceptable.

Here we are, half past dead on Friday night
In a bar, serving up confidence and fights
You were right when you told me I was wrong
When I said friends as sick these never last long
And all the boys celebrate their gender of victory
Keep preying on the weak, and the girls celebrate defeat
Something's wrong with this one I can't be the
First one with the strength to curse my generation
Something's wrong, there's something's wrong with me
Not to say that I know any more than you

I love the album cover, also this song reminds me of myself, we can't judge others even though its the hardest part in life, nothing is wrong with this one! And nothing is wrong with you:)
Dawn Holly
That's a good way to look at it, but I think it's about politics and in our world, something is wrong with it because society is bad

Bayside changes lives
The Bad Bandito (Robert Lewis)
This is a good album.
Fresh
Who the FUCK gave this a thumbs down?!
Tyler H
Me. I love Bayside, more than anyone I know personally, but this is one of their worst songs imo.
The Bad Bandito (Robert Lewis)
I can listen to Howard Hughes all day, and I don't even like that song. I can listen to Baby Britain or Moceanu or any other weird song, can't stand I Think I'll Be Okay. We'll Be Okay is fantastic though.
Tyler H
@Robert Lewis Loveless Wrists is pretty weak. I Think I'll Be Ok is great in my opinion. There are only a handful of Bayside songs that I actually dislike. Something's Wrong just happens to be one of those for me.
The Bad Bandito (Robert Lewis)
I'm not a big fan of I think I'll be okay or Loveless Wrists, I'd rather listen to this than either of those songs.
Tyler H
@Fresh This is the worst song Bayside has put out.
