Acoustic is a CD-DVD set by American rock band Bayside, released on February 28, 2006. The release was in memory of John "Beatz" Holohan, the band's drummer who was killed when the band's tour bus crashed on October 31, 2005.

CD

The CD includes seven studio-recorded acoustic songs (five of which had been previously released non-acoustically on past albums, and two of which were new), two previously unreleased non-acoustic songs (one of which was an Elliott Smith cover), and one live acoustic song.

The song "Winter", one of the new acoustic songs, was specifically dedicated to Holohan, and the song "Megan", the other new acoustic song, is a cover of a Smoking Popes song and features guest vocals from the Smoking Popes' lead singer, Josh Caterer.

Track listing

DVD

The DVD includes an acoustic set of the band's performance at the House of Blues, Chicago, on the Never Sleep Again Tour in 2005, a "making of the album" video, and a montage segment in memory of Holohan. During the live performance, the band played six of the seven studio-recorded acoustic songs found on the CD, with the exception of "Winter". Instead, they played their song "Don't Call Me Peanut", which coincidentally is the live track found on the CD.
