Say Anything Album Coming

Los Angeles' Say Anything are set to release a self-titled album, which will be their fourth full-length effort. The follow-up to 2007's In Defense Of The Genre comes out Oct. 13.

In a blog entry posted on the band's official website on Tuesday, frontman Max Bemis expressed his excitement and revealed the sentiment behind the album.

"As I've said recently of the record, my opinion is that it literally defines everything about the band we've built so far," Bemis wrote.

"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."

Say Anything finished recording the album in May. No track list has been announced yet, but Bemis says songs like "Mara And Me," "Death For My Birthday," "Crush'd" and "Hate Everyone" will be among the 13 songs on the record, which will begin with an intro called "Fed To Death."

"Though it's hard to describe the quote-un-quote sound, I can try," the singer continued. "'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."
