Bayside frontman Anthony Raneri has announced his intent to release his first ever solo project.  The release will take the form of a four or five song EP set to be recorded in Hurley Studios (Costa Mesa, CA) as of December 13, 2011.  Raneri comments:

 “This has been a long time in the making… I’m going to go into the studio and record four or five unreleased songs that I have written over the last three years. I always wanted these songs to see the light of day but I knew they wouldn’t work for Bayside… As an artist, I wanted to try and challenge myself with some other kind of styles… There is some alt-country style songs, some reggae songs… just some cool music. I have really eclectic musical tastes, so this is my chance to explore creating songs in other styles.”

The album will feature guest appearances by Steve Choi (RX Bandits), Davey Warsop (Beat Union) and Jarrod Alexander (My Chemical Romance, Dead Country).
