The Long Island rock quartet Bayside had been garnering attention for their hopped-up, guitar-fueled emo since the turn of the millennium, but a tragic car accident in 2005 took the life of their drummer, temporarily halting the group's artistic and commercial momentum. In a brave display of perseverance, guitarist/singer Anthony Raneri and bassist Andrew Elderbaum performed this live acoustic set of Bayside material as a tribute to their departed bandmate. A 10-track EP, the disc also comes with a DVD of the moving performance.
