Say Anything maps tour in advance of new album
Emo rockers Say Anything will hit the road this fall behind their eponymous third studio album, which is set to surface in October.
The Los Angeles-based band will cover a lot of ground during the 30-date trek, kicking off Oct. 14 in Anaheim, CA, and canvassing the country from coast-to-coast before winding down with a Nov. 22 show back home in West Hollywood, CA. Dates are below.
The group's self-titled fourth studio album is due to surface Oct. 13, with the album's first single, "Hate Everyone," set for an Aug. 28 release date.
"The running theme of the record is finding the mental superhero within yourself despite having seen some dark times," frontman Max Bemis wrote on the band's website. "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."
The band's previous album, 2007's two-CD "In Defense of the Genre," was recorded in New York and California with producer Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair), and features a lengthy roll call of guest contributors, including members of My Chemical Romance, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, Rainer Maria, Saves The Day and Alkaline Trio, among others.
Editor's note: This story initially incorrectly stated that Say Anything's forthcoming album will be the band's fourth. It will be the band's third.
