Say Anything and Wavves announce a joint album titled “Cherry Soda.” Multiple outlets report that the collaboration features longtime frontmen Max Bemis (Say Anything) and Nathan Williams (Wavves), bringing together the bands’ contrasting styles. The projects are presented as a new, combined release released under a single collaborative title, rather than separate solo or band efforts. The first preview is the lead single “Deathx1k,” which outlets describe as the debut track associated with the album. The single is released alongside the album announcement and is positioned as an early look at the record’s sound and direction. Consequence of Sound reports the album’s release date as September 18. Other coverage links the announcement directly to the availability of “Deathx1k,” indicating that the song is streamed or made available for listeners as part of the initial promotional rollout. The outlets collectively frame the news as an unexpected reunion-style pairing between the two ’00s-era bands now joining forces for a collaborative LP.
