Your Own Personalized Rock Song Awaits

Say Anything brainchild Max Bemis broke onto the scene with his debut album “Is a Real Boy” in 2004. Sorry to all those seeking indie cred for finding out about them before the 2006 “debut release”, but that was only a re-issue. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to strike you down, but just know that if you don’t know about Max Bemis before the 2006 you don’t know Say Anything. See Max wrote what I think is one of the greatest debut albums in recent memory. Playing most of the instruments and the help of some friends Max wrote a truly dynamic rock album that combines catchy pop hooks with an arogant sarcastic wit on Max can deliver. As a songwriter Bemis was on top of his game, but most people didn’t know that he suffered from sever bi-polar disorder. Recording the album was hard enough, but when he went on tour he cracked. The back and forth between the high you get from playing live followed by the isolation of a tour van cause Max to completely break down. He tried different drugs to try to help his disorder, some prescribed, some not so prescribed, but nothing worked. The tour stopped almost as soon as it started. The final stop being a mental health center. Max spent a while trying to get clean and learn how to manage his horrible Bi-Polar disorder.

This is where 2006 came, a re-release of “Is A Real Boy” came out with a second disc “Was a Real Boy”, an EP that was supposed to bridge his first album and the next. Max was finally back in the game. Clean, Healthy, and ready to go, he undertook a huge task recording his second album “In Defense of the Genre” a 2 disc, 27 track masterpiece that picked up righ where he left off. The album features guest apperences from friends in “Taking Back Sunday”, “My Chemical Romance”, “Alkaline Trio” and many more.

Now with Say Anything functioning at full force once again Max is extending an offer that no one can refuse. Your very own song recorded just for you, written by Max. It’s a pretty pricy single at $150 but for the Say Anything fan thats a bargain. Just check out the Say Anything website for more info.
