Bio Say When made its reputation as one of the hardest-working rock bands in Boston, and now, after months of nonstop national touring, they're earning a new reputation as one of the hardest-working rock bands in the country.
The band's determined, do-it-yourself attitude has led to sold-out shows all over New England, and fan appreciation across the country, as well as opening slots for major national acts such as Yellowcard and Sugarcult, and an invitation to perform alongside the biggest bands in modern rock at New Jersey's Bamboozle festival 2007.
Over the summer 2007, band members followed the Vans Warped Tour, braving unbearable heat while dressed as '80s sitcom character ALF and selling 60-100 CDs at each stop.
Say When's efforts have all been in support of its most recent record, "I'm With the Band," an 11-song collection of bright, explosively energetic rock. Borrowing the pop-rock sensibilities of Weezer and Jimmy Eat World and the rough, raw power of the Foo Fighters, Say When writes powerful songs with an endless optimism that appeals to a broad range of fans.

"I'm With the Band" is a triumphant collaboration between Say When and Kato Khandwala, a rising-star producer with gold and platinum credentials: Hawthorne Heights, Breaking Benjamin and Paramore among others. Khandwala worked closely with Say When to tailor the record's sound and feel: Singer Maxwell Latif holds nothing back and delivers his lyrics with grit and intensity; guitarists John Zaremba and Zack Starikov team up for a sonic, double-guitar ensemble, anchored by the driving, precise rhythm section of bassist Mike Marvuglio and drummer Mark McCarthy.

Say When has enjoyed great success in 2007. "I'm With The Band" has received regular-rotation airplay from Boston radio stations WBCN, WAAF and KISS 108, in addition to smaller radio stations across New England. WBCN has recognized the single "The Fall" as the top local song of the week on several occasions, and the band was asked to perform it on Boston's FOX 25 morning news.
After non stop touring and performing 360+ shows from Aug. 2007 - Nov. 2008 Say When has turned a lot of music industry heads and was invited to perform at Canadian Music Week 2009. Say When recorded / released a new EP "Ready For It All" produced by Jesse Cannon (The Cure) in May 2008. The band has been gaining lots of fans across the country performing on Fox 7 Austin - Good Morning Austin, NBC Philly 10! Show, and Standing Room Only WBZ New England. The band has recently signed a sponsorship contract with AMP Energy Drink that is putting the band on the "4Pack" a compilation that gets delivered to 300 college radio stations.

Say When was also a recent buzzseeker feature on The Daily Chorus which has asked the band to write a bi-weekly article on how to tour nationally / internationally while staying as an independent band. Say When is on the rise and this is a band you don't want to miss live.
