Say Anything is Saying Goodbye. Thank you for everything. But there's more to come. Let's celebrate and feel this together. Follow the link for all the details. First news item on our site with a novella of a PDF to peruse that explains everything.
Given all of this, I'm going to be retiring the song Wow I Can Get Sexual, Too for the foreseeable future. It may speak partially of my flaws but it's mostly a sarcastic caricature of someone i've never been at all and is no longer appropriate during this crisis
My 5 year old Lucy recorded her first song for her band (named partially last night) Flower Petal Sunflower with me last night and I’m like both excited and nervous to post it because she’s better than I could ever be
Don’t the fuck compare me to Jesse Lacey unless you’re talking about being skinny fat and rugged. I know more than you about him and trust me shut the fuck up
People who like my band are, like, actually really sweet. I'm talking even the casual motherfuckers who only like two songs. If you don't hear one of my songs and think "why is Nick Cave singing Yellowcard covers?" then you're probably a bigger fan of my work than me
Please stay tuned and thank you SERIOUSLY for helping me get through this. Oliver is a fun record as twisted as it sounds and you will probably have some hyperjoy rocking out to it assuming you liked Say Anything because that's who the record sounds like to the extreme. XO MAX
I remember listening to this record the day it came out, high with coby while making is a real boy. Suffice to say we wanted to compete. One of my favorite records to this day.

Thanks to anyone who got the joke of songs like Every Man Is A Molly and a firm fuck you who thought I had rough sex with some poor girl named Molly and wrote a song about it IRL
Say Anything returns from a lengthy hiatus to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ..is A Real Boy, performing the entire album on their North American tour.
Presale today at 1 PM EST
General on sale Thursday at 12 PM EST
So here I am thanking every one of you who believes in me and I swear to you I will not be bullied again and when I fight I don’t fight just for me anymore it for you, the one reading this who may love me
I will always take apart toxic masculinity while making fun of myself because if you have a dick you’ve got the infection. It just matters if you’re aware enough to transcend it.
No e-cig almost at week one.
I kind of don’t care about updating you guys on this because it wasn’t that hard. I instead send my prayers out to those struggling with more addictive substances. You can do it, fuck the man
Thinking I should probably do something song shoppy or concert streamy during this time and that the coolest thing I could do would be private concerts. Would you guys be down? I can figure it out after I finish the last song shop round shortly.
I realized today that this will be my first tour in two years which is the longest I’ve not toured since I was 19. 15 years of touring. I also found a therapist today. Not a coincidence.
the most chronic dire symptom of which being rape, coercion, and sexual assault. we all need to care more, respect women more, respect ourselves more and GIVE A SHIT
If you don’t appreciate the need for social justice in this day and age then don’t buy my art. All health and safety to you and your loved ones but you’ll never win my mind. Beef forever motherfucker. Xo
I rarely recognize social media shit but I will point out when I was fucked up and bipolar I lost like 3,000 followers and now that I’m relatively normal I am climbing again. This is the opposite of how the rest of my career has worked.
i'm at that stage in my life/career where i'm like a wizened ex navy seal living in a Tibetan monastery who has seen too much horror and pain and is approached by his ex-officer to go back into action. i am literally moving to the woods. that said i think i'm playing some shows.
I don’t want to speak for anyone but the punk rock community owes a lot to
@LauraJaneGrace
for helping cisgender punks connect with trans punks by bringing us on her journey. I am really proud of her and her music just keeps getting better. The benefits of being true to your soul
Our fantasy is to sell our house to a “fan” not just someone random though at this point either could happen. Take a look at it if you’re in a fam and looking for a nest and hit up our realtor he’s nice and a say anything fan too yeaa ❤️❤️
my wife
@SDuPreeBemis
doesn’t realize how hot she is. Now’s your chance to address it without me tracking you down and beating you to death. let the truth be known the woman is fine
It’s funny how motherfuckers who love indie fuck bois be coming at me about all this shit. Dude I’ve been married faifthfully for ten plus years. Your heroes fuck high school girls.
Very few things suck as much as drunk dudes in other bands “opening up” to you about how their band sucks and they hate everyone else in the band. If you’re in a band you hate and don’t quit, you fucking suck
On a lighter, but direly important note, i don't want to hear about not hearing that song for the FIVE BILLIONTH time this tour from us because it's not REALLY on is a real boy. it now belongs to you, official emo night. go have fun.
We are going to record and release 4 Bemis Family records for free including the new Perma. This is big for us. Kickstarter. Please support our next stepz 🏉
It has been heartbreaking and continues to be jarring as someone who I hope is different. It makes me question even the mutual not-coerced of-age interactions i've had with women during my youth. We should all question the dynamics of sexuality and our role in this.
Here i reject every band guy who told me i would become him. Every artist who felt he had to sacrifice women and gay/trans people to affirm his masculine identity. I've never been one of you. Fuck you forever. XO MAX B
Finally finished SA self titled acoustic for our Kickstarter and really enjoyed playing the second half of the record. Did a slow version of Young, Dumb and Stung which may be the most random Say Anything song of all time. can you think of a more random one? Shameless?
I was a naive kid when I entered "this scene" at 19 and found out that a lot of people I knew of or looked up to repeatedly cheated on their spouses and girlfriends, hooked up with underage girls etc
Every time I explain to a new friend that was in a band that broke up I have to include “but the band was basically just me and anyone who showed up so it’s kind of just esoteric bullshit semantics.”
Really nervous to propose this but would people be down with doing songwriting or writing in general private classes with me in 2020? Basically creative coaching
we all feel defensive about our sexuality or gender. it's understandable given all the seething hate in this world. if it helps i love/think everyone is hot but i have a type and that type is Sherri, my soulmate for real. that's MY queer. if you are, choose your own.
tonight my band members showed up and fun important things are happening in regards to our next LP and i'm less shadowed by the darkness surrounding us all and maybe slightly less afraid of nuclear war? stupidly
Two things we’ll be selling on this tour are Perma- Fight Fair and.... rare copies on the first printing of fucking BASEBALL on cd. I literally printed them myself in high school ( : should I sign em?
I want to thank
@SDuPreeBemis
for being the only reason I still believe in true love. Please listen to our last Perma record if you’re in love and it gets tough sometimes; don’t worry, it’s part of the deal. Just give your heart entirely.
Before I was with my wife i had a crush on her for months. Admired her years before that. I’m just saying for even a small percentage of you that crush might have four of your babies
I’m so grateful for you guys. Thank you thank you thank you. Imagine being born into this world and being lucky (and it is luck) to have your talent bloom at the right place and the right time. Now imagine thousands of equally talented and smart individuals supporting you.
@maxbemis
Is 'I want to know your plans' a love song between a man and a woman or between a parent and their child? It's driving me crazy. Can you resolve this debate in my head? I swear it's the most beautiful song a parent could sing to their child.
