Matt Pryor To Release Solo Record

This 15-track album was truly a solo effort - Pryor, the revered front man for the Get Up Kids and the New Amsterdams, wrote, played, sang, recorded and produced the album from his home studio in Lawrence, Kansas. And with this vinyl pressing of “Confidence Man”, Matt has taken the final solo effort by releasing the album on his own imprint. The vinyl release will be pressed in an edition of 500 copies. 

Confidence Man is an intimate collection of folk-tinged acoustic songs that strip Pryor’s skillful songwriting down to its bare, emotive minimum. The storylines are less autobiographical and more observant, with a sophisticated twist

Bayside Has Signed With Wind-Up Records

Long Island-based punk quartet Bayside have signed a comprehensive recording, merchandising, publishing and artist development contract (more commonly known as a “360 deal”) with New York City-based indie Wind-Up Records, home to Cartel, Hawthorne Heights and others.

“[Wind-Up’s employees] are genuine fans of our band and share the same vision that we have for the future of our sound and career,” explains frontman Anthony Raneri. “We are so glad to have found a home where they share our passion for creating music and not a product.”

“When Bayside became available, I immediately went out to see a live show and I was blown away by their creativity and energy,” says Wind-Up president Ed Vetri. “This is a band that has done the heavy lifting, put in the time and effort needed to build a strong core fan base, and has consistently delivered to that core base over the years. We share the same vision as Bayside, and within our business model, we will be able to provide the platforms necessary to allow the band to do what they do best, create great music and perform live!”

The band, formed in 2000, signed with Victory Records in 2003 and released four studio albums through that label, the most recent of which being 2008’s Shudder. They will release their Wind-Up debut this fall.
