Saosin
Band Newport Beach United States Formed 2003 US post-hardcore
Saosin formed in 2003 in Newport Beach, United States. Saosin has 11 chart appearances on 11 radio countdowns from 11 stations on RockLists, spanning 2006–2009. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Changing”, which appears on 7 lists with a best position of #31. The station that charted Saosin most often is 89X (Detroit, MI / Windsor, ON), with 1 appearance. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2009.
Saosin came together in Orange County in 2003, around guitarists Beau Burchell and Justin Shekoski, and their first EP, Translating the Name, featured Anthony Green on vocals, but Green left the following year, and Cove Reber stepped up to the mic.
Capitol put out the self-titled debut album in 2006, and "Voices" shows what the band does best: guitars that ping and shimmer with delays and natural harmonics, a rhythm section that lurches and pounces, and tight vocal harmonies that turn every chorus into a release. In Search of Solid Ground followed in 2009, reworking songs from their earlier Grey EP, with "Changing" as one of its more melodic moments.
Reber left in 2010 and the band went quiet. When Saosin came back, it was with the original crew minus bassist Zach Kennedy, and Green was back up front for Along the Shadow, released on Epitaph in 2016. Through all the changes, Burchell is the one member who has never left.
