Say Anything, led by creative mastermind and lyrical genius Max Bemis, will be co-headlining the “MySpace Music Tour,” a new series of MySpace produced and branded concert events in support of their upcoming sophomore album IN DEFENSE OF THE GENRE (J Records) on October 23rd. The tour will kick off Oct. 16 in Seattle, WA, and Say Anything will be joined by co-headliner hellogoodbye, along with Young Love, MySpace Records artist, Polysics, and other to-be-announced special guests. The tour will include more than 30 shows across the United States throughout October and November 2007.

IN DEFENSE OF THE GENRE , the band’s sophomore record was produced and mixed by Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, mewithoutyou),and is a double disc concept album. The songs recount Max’s experience of being consumed by love, having a mental breakdown, pursuing a career while having your heart crushed, picking up the pieces and becoming a better man for it. Say Anything is comprised of Max Bemis (Vocals), Coby Linder (Drums), Alex Kent (Bass), Parker Case (Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals), and twin brothers Jake and Jeff Turner (Guitars,Vocals). The new album presents the growth and maturity the band has experienced touring together over the last two years. On IN DEFENSE OF THE GENRE, Bemis is at the top of his songwriting game – his autobiographical lyrics are at the same time, compelling and jarring. Combined with the expert musicianship of the band, IN DEFENSE OF THE GENRE, is an engaging and thrilling second effort.

Say Anything is available for interviews.
