Max Bemis Finally Says Something

Say Anything, an up and coming band, who have recentely finished up their tour with Saves the Day, have been busy in the studio recording their new album, In Defense of the Genre. Max Bemis, father of Say Anything and lead vocalist, gave an update saying:


"a) we've completed drums, bass and guitar on 95 percent of the songs
except for a few strangely arranged ones that will involve much more
than drums bass and guitar.alex is playing all the bass on the record,
wheras I (Max) played the bass on... Is a Real Boy.
b) we recorded most of the record at quite-famous electric lady studios
in new york city (built by hendrix). we even tracked a lot of the
record in the same room that weezer recorded the blue album in, and
most recently guns n' roses completed their unreleased opus.
c) as of now there are A LOT of songs on the record.
d) our friends from various projects and bands will be involved in
singing and playing on the record.
e) the record is another "concept album" (god help us) but this time
(tentatively) the songs will appear in order of the story they tell,
which is far more direct and personal than the last record's story.
f) brad wood is producing our record. he produced sunny day real
estate's first two records as well as liz phair's and albums by
placebo,smashing pumpkins, mewithoutyou, that dog and more. he is our
dawg, and doing an amazing job.
g) this record will be the best say anything music you've heard thus
far, at least in our opinion. i mean we're four years fucking older,
max is four times dirtier and crazier, coby's got four times as much
party in him, and alex has quadrupled his collection of gnomes,
bathsoaps and other hippy shit. the point is, we are proud of what
we've created; it's not just somethign new but something deeply
connected to the direction the music has been going for the 8 years of
this band's existence..."

This is all that's been said thus far so I'll keep you posted
