Say Anything is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2000 by lead singer, songwriter, and bassist Max Bemis. The band has gone through various lineup changes over the years, with Bemis remaining the consistent heart and soul behind Say Anything's deeply personal and often experimental music. Known for their energetic performances and an unapologetically candid lyrical style that merges self-deprecation with large doses of humor and emotion, Say Anything has carved out a unique space in the emo and alternative rock scenes.

The band's discography showcases a willingness to evolve and challenge genre boundaries, reflected in albums like "...Is a Real Boy" (2004) and "In Defense of the Genre" (2007), which have garnered a cult following. Their recent releases, such as "Oliver Appropriate" (the purported final record of their discography), display a matured sense of storytelling and musical complexity that speak to Bemis' growth as an artist. Songs like "Send You Off" and "Daze" continue to highlight the band's knack for blending catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics, ensuring that even as the band's journey evolves, the emotional core of Say Anything's music remains as resonant as ever.
