Motion City Soundtrack and Say Anything

Minneapolis-based punk rock band Motion City Soundtrack, known for hits like “Everything Is Alright,” earned gold status, toured globally, and collaborated with Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump.

Say Anything, led by Max Bemis, emerged in LA blending emo, punk, and pop. Known for singles like "Alive with the Glory of Love," they gained fame with albums like ...Is a Real Boy. Despite lineup changes, Bemis remained central, collaborating with producers Tim O'Heir and Stephen Trask. They're celebrated for their raw, introspective style. After disbanding in 2019, they reunited in 2023, delighting fans at festivals and dropping singles "Psyche" and "Are You (In) There?"
