New Jersey is known for a lot of things—The Shore, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Pesci, and whatever Taylor Ham is—and has been home to Hardcore infused with Rap for quite sometime. Taking influence from predecessors, like E.Town Concrete & Fury of Five, BAYWAY bring their gritty and aggressive sound to the genre on their upcoming EP, The Newport Sessions, set for release April 20, 2023 on DAZE & RTF Records. BAYWAY's current line-up consists of vocalist Jay Way, guitarist Chris, bassist Dan, and drummer Dave. BAYWAY (oftentimes, known as BAYWAY NJ) burst onto the Jersey Hardcore scene in 2022 with their impactful five-track World of Bayway EP released on limited edition gold foil cassette tape and digitally on Ride The Fury/RTF Records.


Completely produced, mixed, and mastered by the band in Jay Way's studio, the EP features a classic skit-style intro leading into three completely in-your-face tracks. Today the band shares "Cease II Exist," packed with groove, an impressively speedy vocal delivery, a section of somewhat rapped vocals, and a beatdown-ready breakdown. Speaking on the personal lyrical content of the song, Jay states: "I have always felt like an underdog. Whether I was sleeping on the floor as a kid, living in my car as a teen, or struggling to get by in my 20's, I have just always been an underdog. I don't think I was supposed to make it. The struggles and obstacles that were put in front of me from day one were enough to break most people."

"So, to me, this song is about life experience and how hard it can be and how hard it can make you. So, if sh*t goes south when you running your mouth, my advice is you better know what you talking 'bout," Jay continued, quoting his own lyrics from "Cease II Exist." The Newport Sessions EP is now available for pre-order on cassette tape and digitally on Bandcamp jointly throygh RTF Records & DAZE. RTF have a special yellow tinted tape now on sale and DAZE have their own special green tinted tape both limited to 75 exclusively for each label and now available for pre-order. BAYWAY will play a special EP release show on April 21, 2023 in Asbury Park, NJ at House of Independents supporting Fury of Five & Sworn Enemy. Without a doubt, for us here at The Witzard at least, BAYWAY's The Newport Sessions EP is already poised to be one of the most anticipated Punk/Hardcore releases of 2023!

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
