Bayonet is an American hardcore punk band that formed in 2009.[1] The group features Jeremy Comitas formerly of The Banner, Paul Klein of Suburban Scum, Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail, and Will Putney of Fit for an Autopsy.[2] Putney is also an established record producer who has engineered albums for Bloodsimple, Suicide Silence and The Human Abstract among others.[3]

On July 26, 2011, Bayonet released their self-titled debut EP through Mightier Than Sword Records.[2] The EP was met with generally favorable reviews. Tim Newbound of Rock Sound gave the release an eight out of ten and commented that the EP features, "full-on, frenetic, galloping songs that deliver massive tunes through the sheer, infectious force of timeless, glorious hardcore," and that it's "more fun than should feasibly be crammed into 10 minutes."[4] Writing for Alternative Press, Jason Schreurs scored the album three out of five stars praising the record's aggression, however he also noted that the EP "gets a little awkward" when vocalist Buddy Nielsen sings with his Senses Fail-style melody, and says that he should "bury his head, let the rage consume him and try to forget about melody altogether."[5] Lyrically, the self-titled EP touches on themes of angst and religion.[6][7]

On March 28, 2013, Vocalist Buddy Nielsen hinted the break-up of Bayonet, as stated in a KillYourStereo interview, during the release of Senses Fail's latest album Renacer, that "...Bayonet is basically done because there is no need to have that outlet as a side project when it’s now pretty much in Senses Fail."[8]

On September 1, 2020, Buddy confirmed that the band had a new album in the works via the Senses Fail Twitter account, confirming a similar statement made earlier in the year on his personal account.
