Good news is good, eh?
It's been rumoured for a while, but Anthony Raneri of Bayside fame has announced he is working on a new solo EP
Stylistically different to Bayside, he's also lined up a host of guest artists, including RX Bandit's Steve Choi, Beat Union's Davey Warsop and My Chemical Romance / Black Country's Jarrod Alexander.
Speaking to Altpress, Raneri has said: "I basically wanted to create an awesome environment in the studio with a couple of good songwriting minds and really good vibes, stir it up and see what comes out" About the record's music direction, he continued, "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."
Expect the EP to surface in January 2012. Sounds very interesting indeed...
