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.

Emo is a music genre characterized by emotional, often confessional lyrics. It emerged as a style of hardcore punk and post-hardcore from the mid-1980s Washington, D.C. hardcore scene, where it was known as emotional hardcore or emocore. The bands Rites of Spring and Embrace, among others, pioneered the genre. In the early-to-mid 1990s, emo was adopted and reinvented by alternative rock, indie rock, punk rock, and pop-punk bands, including Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, Cap'n Jazz, and Jimmy Eat World. By the mid-1990s, Braid, the Promise Ring, and the Get Up Kids emerged from Midwest emo, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the genre. Meanwhile, screamo, a more aggressive style of emo using screamed vocals, also emerged, pioneered by the San Diego bands Heroin and Antioch Arrow. Screamo achieved mainstream success in the 2000s with bands like Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, Story of the Year, Thursday, the Used, and Underoath.
