Shudder

Bayside scored with 2007's THE WALKING WOUNDED, but rather than resting on their laurels, they're charging out of the gate with the vigorous, anthemic SHUDDER. David Schiffman's production is streamlined and glossy, highlighting the band's eminently hummable choruses and unassuming schoolboy tenderness. "Have Fun Storming the Castle" should storm the airways with its sugar-high, buzz-saw sound (and warm harmonies), and the melodic, Bad Religion-esque "Roshambo" simultaneously pushes the pop and punk elements of Bayside's sound even further.
