Bayside - Cult [Doublemint] { vinyl }

Cult is a fierce, full-throttle statement from one of emo-punk’s most enduring bands. Pressed on eye-catching Doublemint vinyl, this edition adds a sweet visual kick to the band’s signature angst and anthemic edge.

Originally released in 2014, Cult is Bayside’s sixth studio album, and it’s nothing short of a mission statement. The opening track “Big Cheese” comes out swinging with razor-sharp riffs and biting lyrics, while “Time Has Come” is an unapologetic battle cry about growth, frustration, and resilience. The band hasn’t lost a step—they’ve refined their sound into something heavier, tighter, and more emotionally resonant.

Fan favorites like “Pigsty” and “Hate Me” show off frontman Anthony Raneri’s knack for combining sharp hooks with a raw, confessional tone. The album balances intensity and melody perfectly, keeping things punchy without sacrificing depth. It’s a record that feels as cathartic as it does catchy.

This Doublemint vinyl pressing isn’t just a collector’s piece—it’s a celebration of Bayside’s legacy. With artwork that reflects the band’s dark elegance and a tracklist that doesn’t waste a second, Cult proves Bayside is still at the top of their game, fifteen-plus years in. Emo never died—it just grew up and got better.
