‘Say Anything’ is the new single from Taking Names, a pop-punk band from Bergen, Norway, on Loyal Blood Records. Since 2015, the band has released 90's- inspired pop-punk with a modern variety of references from different genres, giving them a uniqueness to stand firmly on their own musical feet. With a rawness and energy on stage, Taking Names mark themselves as an act worth experiencing and paying attention to in the future.

Taking Names has had a big year in 2016 in their native country, with heavy rotation on Norway's biggest national radio station with two of their singles; ‘Hope It’s The Last Time’ and ‘Leave It’. On top of that they played at by:Larm in Oslo in the beginning of March, and made it to the national final for unsigned artists (Årets Urørt) hosted by the biggest national Norwegian radio station NRK P3.

With their new EP coming later this Spring, Taking Names are aiming for new heights both nationwide and abroad.
