Say Anything

<<< Listen Now >>>

         

Hailing from Los Angeles, California USA, Say Anything started out as a one-man Punk-influenced Alternative-Rock band. Max Bemis wrote all the words and arranged most of the music on the the group's first album.

"...Is a Real Boy" originally came out on the Doghouse label in August 2004 and after its release, Say Anything hit the road sharing the stage with such notable acts as Dashboard Confessional, Saves The Day, The Bronx and Straylight Run but over the next couple years Bemis looked like he might sabotage his career before it got started; a series of severe meltdowns, one of which ended with the gifted songwriter recklessly running into a busy Brooklyn street, landed the 22-year-old in a Texas psychiatric center.
The shuffling line-up only stabilized in 2006 with Max Bemis on vocals, Jake Turner and Jeff Turner on guitars, Parker Case on keyboards, Alex Kent on bass and Coby Linder on drums; "...Is a Real Boy" was eventually reissued by J Records in 2006 with a bonus second disc that includes seven unreleased tracks; the album reached #8 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart producing the Hot Modern Rock top 30 hit, "Alive With The Glory Of Love".

October 2007 saw Say Anything release an ambitious double-CD set called, "In Defense Of The Genre". First single "Baby Girl, I'm A Blur", pulses with a synth beat and unwinds into a tangle of doodling riffs, fast-strummed guitars and layers of vocals.
