Say No More is signed to Drive-Thru Records, the label that brought the world New Found Glory, Something Corporate, Midtown, The Starting Line, and Madison. Some of these bands are still active today, while others have broken up and have been reborn into new acts such as Cobra Starship (from Midtown) and Jack's Mannequin (Something Corporate). Most of these bands are highly successful as well, selling millions of records and transferring to larger, major labels. One of these bands, however, even the most die-hard music fan has probably not heard of: Madison. For all of Drive-Thru's success at launching the careers of many of the most popular bands and musicians of today's mainstream rock scene, they also have a habit of leaving bands behind. In Madison's case, their label Rushmore Records, a sub-label of Drive-Thru, was absorbed back into Drive-Thru and only two of the acts were retained under the Rushmore name. The act eventually broke up.

Say No More is a band that must not be ignored and should not be. Formed in December 2001, they released two independent albums before winning Drive-Thru and mtvU's "Best Music on Campus" award in 2006. The band was awarded a recording contract shortly after the competition.

The easiest way to describe Say No More's distinct brand of pop-rock is laid-back. Sure most of the songs clock in at less than two and a half minutes and many of the songs are upbeat, but something about Say No More is relaxing. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that you can tell that they don't try too hard; they just play. Songs such as "Long Drive Home" and "What You Thought You Knew" are just fun to listen too. They aren't innovative or something particularly new, but What You Thought You Knew is a solid album from start to finish.

Are Say No More's lyrics deep and though-provoking? No, but they're also inoffensive too. Most of the songs are about love and relationships, which is common to the genre, but is never a bad thing. Hopefully their next album will explore more lyrical depth, but for now this album stands as a solid offering. Let's just hope that they get to make another album.
