Adding strings to the band lineup, Say Anything played a solid show at House of Blues San Diego.

Promoting their latest album, Hebrews, Say Anything were supported by bands Modern Baseball, Cymbals Eats Guitars, and Hard Girls.

While Modern Baseball had the more hardcore fanbase of the night, Say Anything had the experience and levity of a band that has been on the music circuit for awhile. Lead singer and founder Max Bemis interacted with the crowd and held the room’s attention with his commanding vocals and presence. The string quartet added a fresh resonance to Say Anything’s sound and made them stand out among the night’s alternative rock lineup.
