SOME MAY SAY

Straight out of the blistering streets of Riverside, California blasts a vital, new force poised to breath life into the all to ineffectual world of popular music. Combining the high-spirited song writing brilliance of bands like The Descendants and Greenday with the rock-and-roll sensibilities of Sensefield and Sunny Day Real Estate, Some May Say has managed to produce some of the most catchy, yet original material in the history of that ultra-rare breed of music that obliterates demographic and genre boundaries leaving all in earshot craving more from the very first note to the last.

Formed in the early months of the new millennium, Some May Say is a band forged out of both a love for music and the strength of true camaraderie. Mac Barnett-vocals, Ricky Rivera-guitar/vocals, and Greg Spellman-Drums/percussion, have been in bands together, in one form or another, since their play-pen days. Through the early years, fueled by a steady diet of peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches washed down with dixie-cups full of apple juice, the boys grew up (a little) and started to write some undeniably striking material. Bassist Dave Patterson, a Huntington Beach native, entered the mix in mid ‘99 as a mutual friend and former band-mate of Ricky’s and soon found himself accepted as an honorary boyhood pal.

Having already played several successful dates supporting bands like Blink 182, The Vandals, and The Ataris, Some May Say is, at once, shocked and delighted by the overwhelmingly positive responses they have received thus far and has amassed a tremendous fan-base in the mere handful of months since their inception.

The Loneliest Hour, out now on Orange County upstart label Livewire Records, is the band’s debut release and already it is flying off the shelves at unthinkable levels. The Loneliest Hour has tapped into that all-too-elusive part of the human psyche which, when properly stimulated, spouts out a tidal wave of endorphins so strong, fans are formed within seconds of exposure.
