From Max:
"hi everyone. i'm thrilled to announce that some of our favorite bands will be joining us for our fall tour. first and foremost my beautiful wife sherri and her family play in a spectacular band called eisley. EISLEY will be playing the entire tour. also joining them throughout the whole jaunt will be the canadian rock and a half powerhouse MONEEN. MINIATURE TIGERS and MOVING MOUNTAINS will be splitting duties as the opening act. i'm stoked, you're stoked, we're all stoked to be stoked! see you this fall if you ain't a square."

New Album Available October 13th

JULY 30, 2009, 1:24 pm

I'm like a joyous father today because we get to announce that our new record "Say Anything" is coming out October 13th, 2009. As I've said recently of the record, my opinion is that it literally defines everything about the band we've built so far. If you like us or love us from the bottom of your heart, be excited.

Some deets: The running theme of the record is finding the mental superhero within yourself despite having seen some dark times. After all of the stuff you've heard me sing and write about that overtook me for the better part of a decade, I finally found a way to fight back, and this is the story of how.

A few of my favorite songs on the record are "Mara and Me", "Death for My Birthday" , "Do Better", "Crush'd" and "Hate Everyone". There going to be thirteen songs all together, the first one being a introduction to the record called "Fed to Death".

Though it's hard to describe the quote-un-quote sound, I can try; "Say Anything" is akin to Botch forcing themselves on the Beatles and fathering a strange Larry David-esque midget, who is abandoned due to his freakish nature and adopted by Billy Joe Armstrong. This record is quite a bit more fun than our last record, but still expectedly evil. The point is, we're very proud of it and we only hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed taking our music to what we perceive as the place we've always wanted it to go.

Hmmmm...any other tidbits...uhh...Debra Messing is indeed mentioned on the record. No joke! We love you, Debra!

-Max

Colorblind

JULY 15, 2009, 8:12 pm

hi everyone.

I was casually visiting absolutepunk.net and i went to a thread about say anything, namely about the song titles for our next record. i do this once and a while but less than you'd think; i am just weary of "nay nay".

for your information, "nay nay" is a say anything inner-band term we use for senseless b.s with very little foundation that assumes itself to be the end all be all truth (i.e when you're at a party and someone says jay z is there and everyone starts to say that he's 100% there or coming and by the end it just turns out it was a rumor.) nay nay can also apply to the crap puked up by people who think that they need to force their opinion on others. there's a lot of nay nay in the world so, like i said, i try to avoid say anything threads so i don't get butt-hurt; i am a sensitive dude (which many posters forget some creative people are and proceed to bash them or make rude comments about the loves of their lives JUST SAYIN'). i am always worried that if i start reading i won't be able to stop and i'll end up a self loathing bulimic who just sits in front of the computer whipping myself with a belt and weeping, shamelessly addicted to the endless train of nay nay.

anyway, i went regardless. i was THRILLED to find that you guys are still super nice about our band. with a lot of bands that stick around and do reasonably well, you tend to get a lot more "overrated" or "i liked them when he was fatter" type posts but generally you guys are still totally rad.....

i love you all. those who said they were stoked, even those who said they liked our first record more, or only like the second disc of our second record; hey, you're allowed! we partially made this new record to win you fickle sons of guns back. plus If you're one of the many people I saw who have consistently liked ALL our output, i still think this will be your favorite say anything record.

i just have to again flat out thank all the fans of our band for the amazing experience you keep creating for us. i will never underplay how much i owe you guys and i promise we'll have new music up for you to hear as soon as we're allowed. I can 100 percent guarantee the new record exists... so don't worry!

Until then, since you guys are being so patient, I thought I'd finally shut the heck up and play a real old say anything song for you guys. i haven't played this or any old say anything song since i was in high school and you guys are always bugging me to do it, so here you go. I hope you like it, and again....THANK YOU.

More updates to come.

-Beems Von Beemenstein

Make sure to put your headphones in (the audio is really quiet)...
