About

Say Anything is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band was formed in 2000 by Max Bemis and his friends, and within two years, they had self-released two EPs and a full-length album.

In 2003, the band signed with their first label, Doghouse Records. A year later, they released their second album, ...Is a Real Boy. To support the album, they picked up new members and began touring; however, despite rapidly growing critical and fan acclaim, Bemis' health problems, including bipolar disorder and drug addictions, sidelined the band in 2005 as five band members left during the year.

Say Anything signed with J Records in 2005 and, following Bemis' successful rehabilitation, re-released ...Is a Real Boy with their new label. They went on co-headlining tours with Saves the Day in 2006 and Hellogoodbye in 2007. In 2008, Say Anything went on a headlining tour across the US and UK and appeared on every date of Warped Tour.

Bemis announced Say Anything's disbandment in 2018, months before the 2019 release of their eighth LP, Oliver Appropriate. The band reunited in 2022 and released their ninth album, ...Is Committed, in 2024, and also released their tenth album The Noise of Say Anything’s Room Without... a year later in 2025.

Say Anything are considered by some journalists to be among the greatest pop-punk bands.

Say Anything est un groupe de rock américain, originaire de Los Angeles, en Californie. Il est formé autour du chanteur Maxim Adam Bemis qui est aussi le principal compositeur des titres du groupe. Le groupe est formé en 2000 avec Bemis et quatre de ses amis, dont Coby Linder, qui est toujours de la formation actuelle.

En 2003, le groupe signe avec Doghouse Records après avoir sorti par eux-mêmes trois EP et un album complet, Baseball : An Album by Sayanything. En 2004, le résultat, ...Is a Real Boy, est bien reçu par la critique. Toutes les chansons sont écrites par Max Bemis, qui compose également toutes les parties musicales, excepté les parties de percussions. Ce soin sera laissé à Coby Linder, le batteur du groupe.

Le groupe signera en 2005 avec J Records et sortira en 2006 ...Was a Real Boy, un EP supplémentaire à la version originale de ...Is a Real Boy qui contient sept chansons bonus. En octobre 2007, Say Anything sort son troisième album studio, In Defense of the Genre. En 2008, Max Bemis et Coby Linder forment un supergroupe avec Chris Conley et David Soloway du groupe Saves the Day, le groupe préféré de Bemis. Ils sortent un album éponyme en février 2009, sous le nom de Two Tongues. Le prochain album de Say Anything sera également éponyme, et est prévu pour le 13 octobre 2009.
