adv. apparently, according to others.

So They Say is a post-hardcore, and pop-punk band based in St. Louis, Missouri. They released their self-titled debut EP in 2005. Shortly after, in 2006, they released their debut studio album, Antidote for Irony on Fearless Records. They recorded the follow-up album, Life In Surveillance with Matt Hyde ( Strung Out, Slayer, Liars Inc., Porno for Pyros), released on October 9, 2007. So They Say appeared on Warped Tour 2007, 2006 and one week on Warped Tour 2005. In April 2008 the band decided to take some time off to pursue other musical tastes. Justin Hanson is currently playing music in a band called Lesser Key, Nicholas Walters is currently working in the music industry. David and Joseph went on to play in a band called Me Verse You. In late 2010 David and Joseph put out a statement saying: "After taking some time off to clear our heads, and pursue various musical projects, Dave and I have realized when we were listening to our newest batch of demos that it was So They Say." The band then added Cory Laneman on drums, and Alex Wilkinson on lead guitar.

So They Say Is Pete Francis's first solo album. So They Say features acoustic music with some pop influence, similar to many of the earlier works of his former band, Dispatch. Songs "Burning the River" and "Carry You," were, in fact, often played together with Dispatch, and "Carry You" was re-recorded for a Dispatch record. Other songs on the album, though some seem to have been abandoned, still remain in live rotation, for example "Father Rose" and "If I May."

So They Say is the self-titled debut EP by So They Say. It was released on June 14, 2005.
