Los Angeles, California, United States (2001 – present)

Say Anything is an alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 2001. Originally dubbed Sayanything, the band now consists of founding members Max Bemis (vocals/guitar) and Coby Linder (drums), along with Alex Kent (bass), Jake Turner (guitar), Jeff Turner (guitar) and Parker Case (keyboard), a lineup which has remained stable since 2005.

Say Anything began their career when the band was still in high school. They self-released two EP’s and one LP entitled Baseball. Baseball and the band’s first EP, Junior Varsity, are both out of print and are no longer available. The band’s second EP entitled Menora/Mejorah was released online. All of these early albums have a pop punk sound reminiscent of blink-182 and of Max’s favorite band, Saves the Day.

In August 2004 they released …Is a Real Boy on Doghouse Records. The album was produced by Tim O’Heir (Sebadoh, All-American Rejects, Superdrag) with arrangements by Stephen Trask (Grammy nominated for Hedwig & the Angry Inch). While recording the album Max Bemis had a nervous breakdown during which he took to the streets of New York until his girlfriend found him and ended up in a mental hospital for a few weeks. He attributes the breakdown to stress and bipolar disorder.

lolz @ aaronsteelquist. Yeah dude fuck opinions, I don't even know why I communicate without using facts 100% of the time. This guy has the right idea. The average Say Anything listener has listened to 47 and 1/5th of a song. (remaining post deleted for use of opinion)

I love it when people think their opinion matters to others over the internet. Seriously, if you don't like it, don't vocalize your opinion because no one asked for it. And if you do like it, cool, don't provoke the people who don't like it as much. People think way to highly of themselves.

though something is missing from the old say anything, the new album is really good in my opinion. most songs are catchy. maybe not everyone's cup of tea

I can only stand about 4 songs from the new album, and I can only say I actually like one or two of them. This new album was a massive disappointment for me... Oh well. There's still everything else that they've done.

max bemis called it before IDOTG came out he said it, almost kind of warned his fans, the new stuff is gonna be way catchier way trendier. Now these albums are out and everyones like "what the fuck its all catchy and stuff, booo". The catchyness and super poppy, trendy, overly emphasized, commercial melodies and sayings are all part of a theme, calling out the ignorant underground viewpoint of "popular stuff sucks"

Honestly, I listened to a few songs of theirs a while back and didn't care much for them, as this kind of music never appealed much to me. However, after sitting and listening to Is/Was A Real Boy and In Defense of the Genre, I grew to like them. Now, after seeing them in Austin Tuesday night (I fucking love Eisley, hence me giving this band a shot) and listening to them more, I love them.

I didn't think Is a Real Boy was that much better than Genre. The title track from Genre, and We Killed It, and Insult to the dead are better than anything on IARB.

i love say anything, and i love their new album. like someone said below, of course it won't fucking compare to is/was a real boy. that defined who say anything was. their self titled on the other hand, just made them more awesome. max bermis is a fucking genius and his lyrics actually relate to me and i'm sure most you. that is something to appreciate. the only thing i don't like about the new album is that it's still under the alternative genre when it's pretty much punk rock, but that's just my opinion, ha.
