Bands I Like and Think You Should Like Too: Say Anything

I'm gonna do things like this from now on. I'm not arsed updating this with lame, uninteresting stories from my mediocre life.

So.

SAY ANYTHING
Rock/Pop

I only started listening to this band at the start of April and I already think they're one of my favourite bands of all time. It's a nice departure from the boring rock bands and the overly poppy pop-punk bands of today. The riffs rule, the vocals are so catchy and uplifting and the lyrics are clever and funny. The first song of theirs I heard was Alive With The Glory Of Love. It's got a simple and very danceable rock riff and it's definitely an awesome party song. It's so much fun to sing along with in that the melody is catchy and it's not hard to sing and the lyrics are instantly memorable.



The harmonies there are just amazing. Every single bit of vocals in that song is just perfect and gorgeous. One thing I love about this band (although it's not present in that song) is how they use 'Bops' as a background vocal.

There are some class examples in that song, starting at around 0:48 (best listened to with headphones).

Both those songs are from the album '...Is A Real Boy'. I haven't totally strayed from it yet but I've found a couple of awesome songs from other records.



That's from the album 'In Defense Of The Genre'. That was the only video I found that wasn't live. Ugh. Why do people make these kind of videos? Lame. In Defense Of The Genre has 27 songs on it so it's hard to get totally into it but it has some gems.



There's a better version of that song but I couldn't find it. It's such a great song though.

I sound like a 15 year old here, I think. Fuck. Maybe I'll get better at writing these things and not look like a total fucking mongo fanboy. Anyway, get into Say Anything and we'll be best friends.
