history
Lead singer and songwriter Max Bemis formed the band in 2000 with four friends. The first two EPs Junior Varsity and Menorah / Mejora and the album Baseball were self-produced and distributed over the Internet.
In 2003 they signed their first contract with Doghouse Records and released the album ... Is a Real Boy a year later , which was produced by punk producer Tim O'Heir . During the recording, singer Max Bemis suffered a nervous breakdown which he attributed to stress. It was later revealed that he had bipolar disorder . In order to spread the album, the band took on new members and started a tour. But despite the fan applause and popularity, the band slipped due to Max Bemis' health problems when several members left the band.
In 2005 the band signed a contract with J Records , a subsidiary of Sony BMG Music Entertainment , and released, after the successful rehabilitation of Max Bemis, ... Was a Real Boy , a bonus disc for the album ... Is a Real Boy . On October 23, 2007 they release the double album In Defense of the Genre . In 2008 they started a tour across the USA and England. They performed every day of the Warped Tour . Her fourth, self-titled album Say Anything was released on November 3, 2009.
The current line-up of Say Anything consists of Max Bemis (vocals), Coby Linder (drums), Alex Kent (bass), Jake Turner (guitar, vocals), Jeff Turner (guitar, vocals) and Parker Case (keyboard, vocals).
