Bayside has charmed the critics, converted the skeptics and toured the world; pouring out their hearts and souls with every performance. They are this generation's band of working class, troubadour songwriters and story-tellers, and  this is the record that will immortalize them for the ages. Ask any Bayside fan and they will tell you that this band is the real deal. They are telling the stories of a generation and they do so with honesty and integrity. Shudder is the next chapter in the Bayside tale that takes the band and their fans into the next stages of life. It's about growing up and moving forward into a new frontier that deals with personal growth, living life, trusting your friends and finding family where you thought you didn't have any. 'We are feeling youthful and excited,' says vocalist and guitarist Anthony Raneri.
