Bayside was formed by Anthony Raneri, Vinny Daraio, Chris Jackson (formerly of the Showoffs and Waste Management), and Mike Kozak in October 2000 in Queens, New York City . The band got its name when on their way to a Drive-Thru Records showcase on Long Island featuring New Found Glory , with the intention of giving New Found Glory a demo CD, and they were trying to think of a name to write on the CD. They passed the Bayside train station , and decided to write “Bayside” on the CD, which stuck. The group self-released a five-song demo and signed to Dying Wish Records to issue their first release, Long Stories Short EP in 2001. In early 2002, the band toured with the likes of My Hotel Year, Don’t Look Down, A440, Brand New , and Hot Rod Circuit .
