06/02/08 New songs, new tour dates, everything is new! We're taking off tomorrow for the first part of the summer tour, and we are posting the shows as soon as they're confirmed . keep checking back, and enjoy the new songs! See you all soon.



06/28/08 We can't believe we're halfway through this leg of the tour! Everything is going so fast, and except for the gas prices, everything's cool. We met a bouncer last night who can drink an entire pint of Guinness in one gulp. Zack tried to race him but lost big time. We got it on video. It was pretty awesome.



07/18/08 Today is Day 336 of Say When's US Tour. We are celebrating on Sunday by going to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It pays to have friends who work for Mickey Mouse.



07/24/08 Two shows left on this leg of the tour! Disney World was awesome. Quick run-down: Mark almost died, Zack cut in line to get his picture taken with Goofy (and then almost died), and Mikey and I had an great time riding roller coasters.



08/26/08 After a couple of weeks at home writing, playing shows and trying to catch up on laundry, we're totally ready to hit the road again. First up is a speed run around the East Coast in September, then another full two-month tour of this great country of ours. Please help us keep gas prices down by . um . sneaking up to the gas station at night and going and changing the numbers on the big sign so that gas only costs $1.39 a gallon. Actually no, don't. That will probably get you arrested. :D



11/30/08 Way too long without an update! Here's what happened in the last three months: We did another trip and a half around the country, played a ton of shows, got on TV a bunch, did some laundry, went swimming in the ocean and ate tried everything on the Subway menu at least twice. Lots of Boston-area shows coming up around the holidays, then we're back out on the road in January. The first few dates will be up very very soon!



Say When spends 300 days a year in a van and performs everywhere, all the time.



They've made a dozen trips around the country and played tiny cafes, little rock clubs, big rock clubs, and Giants Stadium. They've broken a couple of ribs, pulled some muscles, had their clothes stolen, blown through dozens of tires, busted a few guitars and watched the back end of their van fall off. And they're still going, because that's just what they do.



After becoming one of the top draws in their hometown of Boston, the band set out on the road in August of 2007 to build upon their large and loyal fan base in the Northeast. Now, after hundreds of shows in more than 40 states, they can roll into El Paso, Texas and let the crowd sing the whole set. They can show up in Chicago and see people wearing every Say When T-shirt ever printed. And they can tell you with the utmost seriousmness that nobody rocks quite like Salt Lake City.



Say When's energy, enthusiasm, and never-say-die attitude have proven contagious, and interest in the band's music is growing by the day. It started with people finding the band on Myspace, going to shows and buying CDs the guys printed themselves on a home computer. Now those same people and thousands of new fans are tuning in to hear the band on KISS FM stations nationwide, on major cable television programs, at NASCAR events and in popular video games.



Say When will continue touring extensively throughout 2009 in support of "Ready For It All," a five-song EP produced by Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Say Anything, many more). Recorded under grueling conditions on a short tour break in 2008, the record showcases the band's developing sound: Ambitious, anthemic pop-rock inspired by the challenges of the road, situations of trust and betrayal, and the feeling that the band was born to do what they're doing. The hooks and energy that made their previous record, "I'm With the Band," a favorite among fans are still present and plentiful, they're just part of a more mature and developed sound and style.



"Ready For It All" is not only the name of Say When's new record, it's a summation of their philosophy and self-perspective: A year and a half on the road has brought both success and struggle. The band has run straight at both, full-speed, and is ready for whatever may come next.



"Now that's rock and roll."



-Gene Lavanchy, Fox 25 Boston Morning News



"Say When has a catchy rock and roll sound that gets your feet and body moving as soon as the first notes hit your ears."



-Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magazine



"Traveling around the East coast and playing at venues such as CBGB, Avalon, and the Paradise, Say When is off to a great start on their road to success."



-Kevin Du, The Suffolk Journal



"This guitar driven five-piece didn't slow down for a minute. They pumped out tune after tune of a serious pop sound and unadulterated teenybopper fun.their energy was unmistakable and their playful back-and-forth bantering projected a room full of positive and happy vibes."



-Northeast Performer magazine
