Shudder is the fourth studio album by American rock band Bayside, released on September 30, 2008.[5] Prior to its release, singer Anthony Raneri described the album as having a more alternative sound than their previous record, The Walking Wounded. The title comes from a lyric in the track "I Can’t Go On".
