This is awesome. Is a Real Boy... was one of my favourite albums of all time, and look at some of these guest vocals!
Fred Mascherino - also from TBS Hayley Williams - Paramore Chris Carrabba - Dashboard Confessional Gerard Way - My Chemical Romance Matt Skiba - Alkaline Trio (fuck yes) Aaron Gillespie - Underoath/The Almost Anthony Green - ex-Saosin, now Circa Survive, to name just one They're the ones I know off the top of my head.
Hayley Williams is from Paramore. Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance. Chris Carrabba from Dashboard Confessional. Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio, Aaron Gilespie from Underoath/The Almost, Chad Gilbert and Jordan Pudnik from New Found Glory. That's all I know
Anything with Matt Skiba is bitchin'. Plus Say Anything are pretty kick ass by themeselves, so sweet.
Another one of their new songs called "Shiska" is on their mySpace and their new single "Baby Girl, I'm A Blur" is on iTunes as well. Edit: NEW UK TOUR DATES AS WELL!
"Baby Girl, I'm a Blur" is a pretty good song. "Skinny Mean Man" is a little better though. I have to listen to "Shiksa" though.
There was a big thing last night about Shiksa not working when they tried to upload it and AP.net ended up with the song Hailie Williams did guest vocals on. Sadly I missed it 'cause they took it down as soon as Shiksa started working I've not heard Baby Girl, I'm A Blur yet either
Steal someone's credit card and threaten them to get the pin number! or just wait til tomorrow when it's uploaded somewhere besides iTunes
This looks AMAZING!! MATT SKIBA & Say Anything!!! Not only are Say Anything one of my favourite bands at the moment, but Alk3 are like my favourite band of like all time. So I can't wait to hear that track. As for the new songs, I'm just about to go listen, and I'll definantly be going to one of the UK shows!
this is amazing! haha! I posting a topic about Say Anything years ago and no one responed it, so its good that people do know about them here now. I really like them a lot. I had to order in a copy of Is A Real Boy cause no where here had it, so if I have to I will do it with the new one when it comes out. I can't wait to hear it!
This looks like it's going to be an incredibly fun album to listen to. Not to mention the fact that it must have been incredibly fun to record.
