Who says January is a dull month for catalogue music? Say Anything are starting the year off with a triple-disc limited edition box set chronicling much of their early career.

All My Friends Are Enemies: Early Rarities chronicles lead singer/songwriter Max Bemis' L.A. band in the two years before their signing to Doghouse Records in 2003 and releasing breakthrough album Say Anything...is a Real Boy the following year. (From 2005 to 2009, the group was signed to J/RCA Records, re-releasing ...is a Real Boy in 2006 as well as double album In Defense of the Genre (2007) and a self-titled LP in 2009; indie label Equal Vision handled last year's Anarchy, My Dear.)

The set, limited to 5,000 copies, will feature the band's first self-released EP, 2000's Junior Varsity (self-reissued and expanded as In Your Dreams (2002)); their proper debut, Baseball: An Album by Sayanything (2001) and 2002's Menorah/Majora EP. Also featured in the box are some 18 further odds and ends, including much of the "Dormroom Demos," recorded the same time as Menorah/Majora in Bemis' Sarah Lawrence College dorm.

It's shaping up to be a busy year for Bemis: in a recent two-part chat (here and here) with The Alternative Press, he discussed at length the recent departure of longtime Say Anything drummer Coby Linder, new projects with his wife including his first child and a new band, Perma, and the promise of new Say Anything music (with a possible detour to celebrate the 10-year mark for ...is a Real Boy) in 2014. In the meantime, All My Friends Are Enemies is out January 22. Order it at Amazon U.S. here and Amazon U.K. here and hit the jump for the full track breakdown.
