Intro to "Say Anything" - Schmidty797 - 16-03-2011
Say Anything is an American indie alternative band from Los Angeles, California, fronted by singer-songwriter Max Bemis. The band was formed in 2000 with Bemis and four of his friends. Within two years, they self-released two EPs, Junior Varsity and In Your Dreams, and the full-length Baseball: An Album by Sayanything.
In 2003, the band signed with their first label, Doghouse Records. A year later, they released ...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, released ...Is a Real Boy on J Records. They went on co-headlining tours with Saves the Day in 2006 and Hellogoodbye in 2007. On October 23, 2007, the band released their third full-length album, In Defense of the Genre. In 2008, Say Anything went on a headlining tour across the US and UK and appeared on every date of Warped Tour. Their fourth album, entitled Say Anything, was released on November 3, 2009. [1]
Currently, Say Anything consists of Max Bemis (vocals), Coby Linder (drums), Kenny Vasoli (bass guitar), Jake Turner (guitar, vocals), Jeff Turner (guitar, vocals), and Parker Case (keyboard." - Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say_Anything_(band) )
This band is one of my favorites, I did a forum search and nothing showed up so I figured I'd give a little insight. Say Anything is a band that I can say made there own sound ( Maybe to risky to admit? ) Below I will list some youtube links of my favorite songs by the band, honestly I cannot say I adore every song they've released but personally that's near impossible. Max Bemis as the lead singer really has a different twist lyrically and also in his vocal style. It's something new, and uncommon. Alot of Say Anything's songs also have a very poppy feeling to them. If this band could be your cup of tea I suggest looking into them.

I don't know what's wrong with the search because they have been discussed here in the not so distant past.
I think they're a brilliant band especially lyrically but I have lost interest a bit as I thought the last album pretty disappointing. Cool post though - I expect one of the moderators wil move it.
