Say Anything share burning new single "On Cum" from forthcoming LP ...Is Committed

Los Angeles, CA (April 25, 2024) – Last month, Max Bemis and his band Say Anything revealed details of their first album since 2019, the aptly-titled …Is Committed, due May 24 on Dine Alone Records. Today, the band is sharing the LP’s second song, “ON CUM.” It’s a textbook ripper, packed with allusions to the bands that formed the soundtrack to Emo Nite and the When We Were Young Festival, which the band is set to perform at in October. It has a chopping punk thrash backbeat, a battering NOFX-style second verse attack, and an idiosyncratic and emotional outro, with Bemis crooning “I’m Brandon Boyd-ing out in this son of a b***h.” Paste premiered the song this morning, writing “In their new era, Say Anything can't help but run wild through brash technicolor..”

Speaking on the new song, Bemis said in a statement that “"ON CUM" is an ode to the sanctity of having a second song on any uppity record that at least attempts to truly "knock.” The "chopping steak" beat being included is the evidence we weren't content to only half-knock when "Monkey Wrench" still exists.” The new song follows on the heels of previously released singles “PSYCHE!,” “ARE YOU (IN) THERE?,” “CARRIE & LOWELL & CODY (PENDENT),” a song about codependency, alienation, and resolving conflict with the ones closest to you, and most recently, “I, VIBRATOR,” in which Bemis lampoons the traditional “for the ladies” song by writing about his desire to be a disembodied vibrator used as a tool of female sexual empowerment. Stream the new single below along with the previously released singles.
