2025 marks 25 years of Bayside and it also marks 20 years of their self-titled sophomore album, which vocalist/guitarist Anthony Raneri joined us on the BrooklynVegan podcast to discuss.
The album came at a pivotal moment for both the band and the 2000s emo boom that they were part of, and Anthony discusses all the factors that led to this album turning out the way it did, and the way it changed the band’s career forever. He discusses the impact that being from the Long Island scene and being surrounded by the meteoric rises of bands like Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance had on this album, some of the big influences behind it, some of its more regrettable lyrics, and much more.

'Peripheral Vision' at 10 with Turnover's Austin Getz
Drastically changing up your style as a young, rising band is a risk, but Peripheral Vision teaches us that making a beloved record never really comes down to style as much as it comes down to great songwriting. Turnover went all in on their newfound love of dream pop/post-punk for Peripheral Vision, and they still had the driving backbone and the sappy sincerity of their emo/punk days that made the new album stand out as unique within all of those genres. It quickly became the band’s breakthrough record, and it set the tone for the next decade of Turnover’s career.
For its 10th anniversary, singer/guitarist Austin Getz joins us on the BrooklynVegan podcast to discuss the making of the album, influences behind it, where the band was at internally and where the scene they were part of was at during this period, and much more.
Turnover will also be performing Peripheral Vision in full on tour (with support from Citizen, Tigers Jaw, Balance & Composure, and others) and releasing an expanded 10th anniversary edition. There's an exclusive BrooklynVegan "candied avocado" vinyl variant, limited to 500 and up for pre-order in the BV shop:

The Offspring
It’s been a pretty big year for The Offspring. It’s the 40th anniversary of the band, the 30th anniversary of Smash, and they’ve got their new album Supercharged out now on Concord Records. They’ve also done some unlikely collaborations during their music festival appearances–Ed Sheeran joined them for “Million Miles Away,” Queen’s Brian May joined them for an orchestral rock rendition of “Gone Away” and Queen’s “Stone Cold Crazy,” and Offspring singer Dexter Holland joined The Beach Boys for “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.” We caught up with Dexter and guitarist Noodles for a new episode of the BrooklynVegan Podcast to talk about all of those things, as well as their early days getting into the punk scene, how their perspective on punk and songwriting have evolved over the years, longevity in rock and punk, Dexter’s years working with AFI through his label Nitro Records, music they’ve been listening to lately, and more.

Tim Kasher (Cursive)
As Cursive gear up to release their new album Devourer, lead singer Tim Kasher joins us us on the BrooklynVegan Podcast. Throughout our hour-long conversation, Tim talks about classic Cursive records, the Omaha/Saddle Creek scene he came up in, his thoughts on being associated with emo (and covering At the Drive-In at Bonnaroo’s Emo SuperJam), continuing to discover new music and art at middle age (he just turned 50 on August 19, happy belated!), the new album, and more. He unpacks some of the hopeless, apocalyptic, state-of-the-world themes on Devourer, talks about bringing cello back into the fold on the past few Cursive albums after abandoning it for many post-Ugly Organ years, and he talks about why Cursive were excited to team up with Run For Cover Records for this new album, following several albums for Saddle Creek and two on their own 15 Passenger label.

The Get Up Kids: Something To Write Home About at 25
The Get Up Kids‘ classic 1999 album Something To Write Home About turns 25 this year, and the band is celebrating with an expanded reissue and a tour, and for the occasion, co-leaders Matt Pryor and Jim Suptic joined us on the BrooklynVegan podcast for an hour-long reflection on the album. They reminisced about how they evolved from their very humble beginnings and their 1997 debut album Four Minute Mile into the band that wrote one of the most influential emo albums of all time just two years later, the label feeding frenzy that followed Four Minute Mile‘s success and the decision to go with then-little-known label Vagrant, the longer demoing process that helped make Something To Write Home About a much more refined album than its predecessor (and that’s being immortalized with the second disc of demos included with this new reissue), their headlining STWHA tour with openers At the Drive-In, their 2001 support tours for Green Day and Weezer, the mainstream emo boom that Something To Write Home About heavily inspired and that The Get Up Kids moved away from with 2002’s On A Wire, and more.
