Say Anything is (sorta) coming to an end. A lengthy message from Max Bemis (over ten pages), can be read here.
Our plans as a collective are to, kind of sort of, end Say Anything. Or “the first era of Say Anything”. Whatever you want to call it, it’s that thing. I don’t buy that shit when other bands do it, but whatever the fuck works as terminology. I need a break. We’ll return one day to play festivals and scoff at our career. But I want to say goodbye.
There will be no full U.S tour to support the record or in the near future. I am done being a touring musician as my main profession. Say Anything is retiring in the sense that Jay-Z did. It’s not an indefinite hiatus or a breakup because that’s impossible. But we’ll get to that.
A message from his wife, Sherri DuPree-Bemis, can be read here:
If what Max wrote doesn’t make it clear, he’s recovering from a PTSD “breakdown” and this is not really bipolar-related stuff. It’s a guy who followed his passion to the point of almost breaking who stopped and saved his own life for us and those who care. Which has left him joyful but needing rest and relaxation and positivity.
The band will be releasing their new album, Oliver Appropriate, on October 12th. The first single, “Daze” is up on Spotify and Apple Music.
Bayside covered Say Anything’s “Night’s Song,” and Say Anything covered Bayside’s “They’re Not Horses, They’re Unicorns.” You can stream those below.
Two Tongues will release their new album, Two, on October 14th. The first single, “Azalea,” is up on Apple Music and Spotify.
