Bayside – Cults (Hopeless Records/UNFD)

Bayside are back with their latest album Cult, and it’s a rocking album. Punchy full of energy and seriously delivers. If you are a fan will probably already have this but if your not, give it a go, it’s a good solid energetic catchy album. It’s open ups with Big Cheese, a solid driving energetic number that gets the album going. The first single off the album Time Has Come is a catchy energetic number that highlights what the band is all about. You cannot help but sing along. Hate Me is an energetic tone with a little darker edge, but still delivers. You’re No Match is a kind of ballad that is still energetic but has great songwriting and vocals. Pigsty has a darker edge but still extremely catchy. Transitive Property is a catchy tune, love the intro. It’s a bit of a ballad, great musicianship and it’s a well written song. Stuttering is another winner of tune, catchy, well written and produced. Love the use of the organ it’s a nice touch and is the backing gang vocals. Guitar playing is good too.     Bear With Me is another fast paced tune, well written and performed and vocals are good. Objective On Fire is another ballades number, it’s a little slower but the songwriting and vocals are solid. Something’s Wrong is another catchy number that delivers. The Whitest Lie finishes off the album with another catchy number. This is a good album. It’s catchy, energetic, well produced and delivers an album that doesn’t let go from the first song. It’s worth checking out.
