New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Jaybird Communications) Bayside have been slaying the rock scene for over a decade, and you can bet they've done their fair share of shredding. So now, they're putting the guitar in the hands of the 600,000-strong Indaba
Music community and asking them to bust out a killer solo for their brand new single "Already Gone."
Taken from the band's fifth full-length album, Killing Time, available now on Wind-up Records, "
Already Gone" is a hard-driving rock track that screams for a sizzling guitar solo. Starting today, Indaba's community of musicians will be given the opportunity to provide just that. One grand prize winner will be selected by the band, and that master shredder will receive an Epiphone guitar, a full iOS rig, a feature on Bayside's website and GuitarWorld.com, a one-year subscription to Guitar World, and a
Bayside gift bag including a signed copy of Killing Time. In addition, 10 honorable mentions will be selected by the band from among the 20 most popular solos. These guitar heroes will receive a signed copy of Killing Time and full versions of AmpliTude and AmpliTude Fender for iOS, plus $125 in AmpliTude
Custom Gear Shop credit.
Musicians have from
September 27 until October 18 at 5 p.m. EST to submit their solos. After the submission period,
Bayside fans will have until 5 p.m. EST on November 1 to vote for their favorite. To learn more and submit music, go to https://www.indabamusic.com/opportunities/bayside-guitar-solo-contest.

Bayside has had huge success on the road, playing over 2,000 shows all over the world. Their touring success has led to a devoted, almost cult-like, fan base which is where their "Bayside is a Cult" slogan stems from.
