Los Angeles, United States (2001 – present)
Say Anything is a rock band from Los Angeles, California fronted by singer/guitarist Max Bemis. The band’s current lineup consists of founding members Bemis (lead vocals) and Coby Linder (drums) along with Alex Kent (bass), Jake Turner (guitar), Jeff Turner (guitar) and Parker Case (keyboard).
Say Anything began their career as Sayanything in 2001 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, The 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.

In Defense of the Genre is different, but I wouldn't say it's a "waste." Some songs are good, lyrics are totally original. Truthfully, I think it turned out pretty smoothly. Say Anything can do nothing wrong.

In defence of the genre is something that will grow on you over time. Just like all of say anythings other albums do brilliantly. I agree that lyrics wise, on first listen, in defence of the genre doesnt seem to match up to is a real boy or baseball and the demos and unrealsed songs. But to me with time you gain a better understanding of where max comes from in, in defence... its a brilliant album like everything say anything has done

Hmm. I think I like Baseball the best, then ...Is A Real Boy. I have nothing against In Defense of the Genre, I just like these other albums better. I love all of their work though.

Is A Real Boy's lyrics are far superior for the most part and it contains more catchy pop punk awesomeness. But musically In Defense Of The Genre is better, almost no question about it. Max progressed so much and used so many other instruments on the record. Vocals are equally awesome on both though.
