Check out this Village Voice interview with Say Anything. Max Bemis, writer and vocalist for the band, discusses the changes in his life and how they are reflected in the band’s new album:

I was very isolated at the time of the last record, and the closest relationship I had was this horrible, abusive relationship I was in…Now I have more human relationships: I’ve become a lot closer with my friends and my bandmates, and I just got married…I’m basically going through this human drama on a daily basis that’s generally very positive.

It’s been almost three years since Smoke Or Fire released their last album, This Sinking Ship, on Fat Wreck Chords but today the band has announced that they will be working on a new album for a mid 2010 release.  From the band:

So, after eight months of doing relatively nothing I find myself today in Richmond, VA attempting to help complete what will be the third Smoke Or Fire record. We have no time frame, no deadline, no release date to report (other than we’re hoping to get it out mid 2010), no pressure.

So apparently Say Anything front-man, Max Bemis, is a comic book nut.  The proof is in an interview he did with Marvel where Max discusses, yes, comics, but also the upcoming Say Anything album and even touches briefly on future plans for side project Two Tongues.  It’s worth a read so check it out here.

Say Anything is releasing a new self-titled album on November 3rd.
