SAY IT ANYWAY Featuring Members of THE RUN UP & SAVE YOU BREATH Share Debut Single "Moments" (Real Ghost Records)


We are very excited to introduce SAVE IT ANYWAY and their debut single, "Moments," which was released just this past Friday, September 10th. The band features frontman Kristian Richards of one of The UK's best Pop-punk bands, SAVE YOUR BREATH, and four members of THE RUN UP; between them, they have collectively played 400 shows with heavyweights such as New Found Glory, The Wonder Years, Neck Deep, Spanish Love Songs, and The Story So Far. Their debut single is as good as you'd expect from a band with such background and experience. The band formed during the summer of 2021, after Laurence "Loz" Nelson, Charlie Parsons, Daniel Baker, and Stu Lloyd's previous band, THE RUN UP, came to an end... having just returned from a three-week tour of The USA and a week in Japan, the COVID-19 Pandemic hit and drew a close [to] THE RUN UP's future plans.


After a period of reflection, it was decided it wasn't to be to just pick up where they had left off. However, four of the five members of THE RUN UP decided to carry on making music together, taking forward the new songs and ideas they had written for their next record. But they needed to find themselves a singer for this new project... Step forward: Kristian Richards, former singer for UK Pop-punk heroes, SAVE YOUR BREATH. The band met and jammed and after a couple of sessions writing and getting to know each other, it was clearly the perfect fit to complete the new line-up. "It all came together pretty quickly, to be honest. We spent 12 months writing and demoing new songs for THE RUN UP, which, unfortunately, didn't pan out as we had planned," reflects bassist Daniel Baker. "The four of us wanted to continue the journey. To make some more music, hit the road, and make friends in new places. We weren't ready to let that go."


"So, we decided to start a new project... [Unbeknownst] to me, my fiancée is friends with Kris [Kristian]. When I finally put two and two together and realised he was the singer from SAVE YOUR BREATH, I knew it would be the perfect fit, so [I] approached him. Luckily, things fell into place pretty quick from that point. We cannot wait to get these songs out there and play some shows. We are so stoked about how things are sounding; it's coming together like our dream sound," Baker continued. After continued writing and rehearsal throughout Summer '21, the band felt they were definitely on to something with the project. Smashing out huge Pop-punk songs with massive sing-along choruses, they were well on their way and SAY IT ANYWAY was born. Hints of nostalgic early 2000's Pop-punk and modern-day Melodic Punk Rock are evident, so fans of both previous bands will undoubtedly enjoy this new sound. SAY IT ANYWAY's first single, "Moments," is now available on streaming services. We'll keep you updated concerning their proper debut full-length release on Real Ghost Records.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
