Say Anything ‘Rarities’ tour comes through Rams Head Live!
Pop-punk group Say Anything came through Baltimore on Sunday, June 16, at Rams Head Live! as part of a tour celebrating their early work. The set included many songs written when frontman/songwriter Max Bemis was still in high school, and long before they signed with a record label.
