Bayside share more rarities on five-track B-sides EP “Premium Selections”
Bayside are clearly on a roll when it comes to making their back catalogue available to stream. Following August’s “Bark At The Moon” EP, “Premium Selections” is the next collection of songs previously available only on vinyl.
Release details
Artist: Bayside
Title: “Premium Selections” (EP, 5 songs)
Format: EP
Release date: September 18, 2026 (sources: Kill The Music, Metalheads Forever Magazine)
Tracklist: “Saddest Song” (a B-side from “Killing Time”), “Sick Sick Sick”, “They’re Not Horses, They’re Unicorns”, “Dear Tragedy” and “Killing Time”
Guitarist Jack O’Shea once again compiled the EP, this time paying particular attention to opener “Saddest Song”. Originally recorded during the sessions for 2011’s “Killing Time”, the song had previously only been available on vinyl (source: Metalheads Forever Magazine). O’Shea describes its structure as a deliberate contrast between a very intimate, restrained verse and the densely layered wall-of-sound section that follows — the part that, he says, gave the track its identity in the first place (source: Wasted Attitude).
The EP’s other four songs also come from different periods in the band’s history and were previously only available on physical releases. For fans of the New York band fronted by Anthony Raneri, “Premium Selections” is already the second opportunity this late summer to dig deeper into the back catalogue without having to fire up the turntable.
