Kicking Things off in San Diego, CA on October 14^thSay Anything and Motion  City  Soundtrack announce a co-headlining tour of the US this fall kicking things off at Soma in San Diego , CA on October 14^th.

Say Anything will be out in support of their 3^rd album release Say Anything ““ released November 3^rd, 2009 on RCA Records and Motion City Soundtrack is hitting the road in support of their 4^th studio album and major label debut ““ My Dinosaur Life ““ released by Columbia Records on January 19^th, 2010 and Say Anything is  the  critically-acclaimed Los Angeles rock  outfit  fronted by Max Bemis,  with  drummer Coby Linder, bassist Alex Kent, guitarists Jake Turner and Jeff Turner, and keyboardist Parker Case.

Their  third, self-titled album SAY ANYTHING produced by veteran producer/mixer/engineer Neal Avron, was  released  in November 2009, and the band embarked on a national tour with sold out shows in nearly every city,   performing  the album’s  first single “I Hate Everyone” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

   Time Out New York declared  SAY ANYTHING “uncommonly innovative,” while  Spin described it as “clever” earnest” lyrical jujitsu.”  Of their most recent NY show, Rob Harvilla of the  Village Voice gushed:” I love this band and feel ridiculous about it. They’re still capable of ludicrous, shameless, mega-emo transcendence.”

Over the years, Say Anything has toured with such artists as  Angels + Airwaves,  My Chemical Romance, Manchester Orchestra, Dashboard Confessional, Saves the Day, mewithoutyou, Ben Lee, and  on the Warped Tour.        Exploding onto the music scene, Say Anything released  their 2004 Doghouse Records debut  “Is A Real Boy, which told the ultimate coming-of-age story in a swirling storm of sex, drugs, angst, and gut-wrenchingly honest rock & roll.  

 In 2005, Say Anything signed with RCA Music Group, which re-released  “¦Is A Real Boy with a bonus CD entitled  “¦Was A Real Boy (2006), and their critically-acclaimed sophomore double-disc  album In Defense of the Genre soon followed in 2007.

The album debuted at #15 on the Billboard 200 and the band performed their first single off the new album ““ “Her Words Destroyed My Planet” ““ on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on February 2^nd.   They followed the release with sold out headlining tours of the US , Australia , Japan , and UK and just wrapped nearly a month of dates as one of this year’s Warped Tour headliners.  

The band launched their “Give A Little Help” Campaign mid-July in conjunction with their next single “A Lifeless Ordinary” where fans can post a video about something they’ve done to help a person, cause, or charity ““ check out www.motioncitysoundtrack.com for more information.   And at the end of the summer Motion City Soundtrack will head to the UK to play Reading and Leeds before returning Stateside to play the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle .

Saves The Day will be on the road in anticipation of their next release ““ Daybreak ““ the third part of a trilogy that began with 2006’s Sound the Alarm and continued with Under The Boards in 2007.   With this final chapter in the trilogy comes positive change, which makes sense for a band that has always had a penchant for evolution since it’s debut album Can’t Slow Down in 1998.

  Seen as one of the leaders in the scene, Saves The Day continues to influence a generation of fans and the imminent release of the highly-anticipated Daybreak will mark the latest chapter in the seminal band ‘s career .Catch Say Anything and Motion City Soundtrack when they hit the road with special guests Saves the Day, Valencia and A Great Big Pile of Leaves on October 14^th.
