Bayway

Bayway is a hard-hitting hardcore band from Elizabeth, New Jersey, formed in late 2022. Known for their raw, unapologetic sound, they channel the gritty spirit of New Jersey Hardcore with influences from 90s legends like E-Town Concrete, Fury of Five, and NJ Bloodline. Fronted by vocalist Jayway, alongside Chris Halpin (guitar), Tito Valentin (guitar), Dave Mericle (drums), and Diego Galarraga on bass, Bayway blends pummeling riffs, hip-hop vocals, and streetwise lyrics that reflect the struggles and resilience of their roots.

Since their debut demo World of Bayway with RTF Records, they’ve unleashed a relentless stream of releases, including The Newport Sessions and Bayway Takes Manhattan, both on DAZE and RTF Records, cementing their reputation as a rising force in the hardcore scene with a no-frills attitude and explosive live energy.

Now the first band signed to Trustkill Records since 2008, the band has a new album set to drop summer of 2025 that promises to be a banger because Bayway has The Recipe.
