Saosin

saosin簡介：Saosin是來是加洲的Post-hardcore樂團，成立于2003年，是由靈魂Anthony Green在其他各個樂隊(比如Open Hand)中東挖西挖組成的。2003年的ＥＰ《Translating the Name》發(fā)行，隨后樂隊還沒來的及巡演就出現(xiàn)了大變動，包括bass、drum等離隊，直到3個月后Saosin才有了第一次舞臺經(jīng)驗，他們同Boys Night Out 和 Anatomy of a Ghost進(jìn)行夏季的巡演，其良好的臺風(fēng)被樂評家認(rèn)為同另一New York Hardcore樂隊Glassjaw可以帶來相同的感情宣泄。2004年，樂隊靈魂Anthony Green因為私人原因離開了Saosin另組樂隊Circa Survive，追求他自己的“emo/post-hardcore”去了，但Saosin卻沒有停滯，Cove Reber加入樂隊接過Anthony Green的班成為樂隊新主唱，在05年的3年份參加Taste of Chaos tour時與唱片公司Capitol簽約，并在8月份發(fā)行了同名ＥＰ，經(jīng)過1年的努力，樂隊不斷豐富自己的經(jīng)歷終于在2006年9年份在制作人Howard Benson幫助下發(fā)行了自己的同名正式的專輯。
樂隊的名字非常有意思，取自中文“小心”的音譯，Anthony Green在訪談中談到了名字來自中文”small heart”，有趣的是在他的理解里中文的“小心”是指“小心愛”(as in love cautiously)。
California-based Saosin burst onto the post-hardcore scene in March 2003 with their explosive screamo-tinged debut EP, Translating the Name, on Death Do Us Part. For the recording, the band was comprised of vocalist Anthony Green, former Slayer guitar tech and drummer Pat McGrath, guitarist/vocalist Justin Shekoski (ex-As Hope Dies), and former Open Hand members bassist Zach Kennedy and guitarist/vocalist Beau Burchell. The band's name comes from a Chinese proverb that means "small heart," as in love cautiously. Shortly after the EP's completion, Kennedy exited (going on to join Ashlee Simpson's band) to be replaced by Chris Sorenson, and since McGrath had been enlisted solely to play drums on the album, Saosin weren't solidified until that July with the addition of permanent drummer Alex Rodriguez (also formerly of Open Hand).
Even though Translating had been out since March, the band didn't make its on-stage debut until June. Their powerful live performance and heavy Internet presence were coupled with high praise for their EP (comparing them to the emotional catharsis of Glassjaw), cultivating an impressive underground following. The guys hit the road nationwide that summer with Boys Night Out and Anatomy of a Ghost. Green parted ways with the band in February 2004 for personal reasons, later going on to front the emo/post-hardcore outfit Circa Survive. The other bandmembers pressed on without him, however, and though they had yet to find a permanent replacement, stayed true to their Warped Tour obligation with Story of the Year's Phil Sneed taking the mike. By the summer's end, Cove Reber had become the band's new singer. Saosin spent time on winter's Taste of Chaos tour before hooking up with Capitol Records in March 2005. After numerous compilation appearances, a self-titled EP of demos and live cuts appeared that August; summer was spent on co-headlining dates with Anberlin. Saosin continued work on their eponymous full-length debut with Howard Benson, finally releasing the long-awaited disc in September 2006. Plenty of touring followed well into the next year, including dates with bands like Senses Fail, Bleeding Through, A Static Lullaby, and Poison the Well. In March 2008, Saosin released Come Close, a live CD/DVD.
