The day Australian pop-punk fans have been yearning for has finally arrived, as heroes and defenders of the genre Say Anything announce the Australian leg of their In Defense Anniversary Tour, celebrating 10 years of their seminal album In Defense Of The Genre. It will be the Los Angeles based outfit’s first visit to Australian shores in 4 years, and this time around they’re pulling no punches.

The band have locked in two nights in each Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, playing three classic albums across the nights. The first night will see the band perform … Is A Real Boy and In Defense Of The Genre Disc 1, while on the second, they will be performing Self Titled and In Defense Of The Genre Disc 2.

Relive classics like ‘Shiksa (Girlfriend)’ from Say Anything’s In Defense Of The Genre

On the upcoming tour, vocalist Max Bemis says, “Well, this should be the most epic series of shows we’ve ever put on in terms of the “legacy” of our early work. I predict all-out catharsis in these intimate settings and an awesome experience losing myself in the narrative of each of these albums played in their entirety.”

Sing along to all the words of ‘Hate Everyone’ from Self Titled
