Saosin

[xCiaránx]

...make breaks between bands at gigs fun. Quality stuff there tonight in Slattery's. Anthony and Cove shit back to back and all.

[xGavx]

They're never putting out an album.

[Stevek]

Best singalong band ever. Haha.

[xCiaránx]

You know it, Steve.

I hear they're just gonna get a new singer and release an EP every couple of years or so.

[Stevek]

Thats dude voice like. I think its pretty amazing. Makes the band also make Circa Survive good.

[xCiaránx]

Yeah, I'm into Circa Survive. It's a class voice alright. Cove's not as good.

[Dee]

Ohhhh my God, Slattery's playing them last night at the intervals was pure amazing like!!!

[xGlennx]

Music played between bands is the worst thing ever.

[Dee]

ohhh but no, last night was fantastic....they played Saosin, SOTY and BFMV......

well shocked I was!!

[xGlennx]

I dunno, if it was quiet, like background music or something then it probably wouldn't annoy me, but it gets played loud and you're having to speak even louder to talk to people/get a drink or whatever.

[Stevek]

I dunno, if it was quiet, like background music or something then it probably wouldn't annoy me, but it gets played loud and you're having to speak even louder to talk to people/get a drink or whatever.

I know what you are talking about alright. In between bands its nice to have a chat and loud music hampers that. In this case it was alright since me and Ciarán had a bit of a singalong. Good times.

[xGavx]

http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=74666

[Boyler]

Thewre is a song on the Taste Of Chaos Compliation, It is a live recording

[xGavx]

http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~michi8613/justinchrisagain.gif

[Iano]

i fucking told you

[xGlennx]

Haha, wow.

[Dee]

Did I just see 6 swings there?!!!

that's amazing

[xGlennx]

And more speaker jumps. And stage dives.

[xCiaránx]

That's amazing, yeah.

[xGavx]

http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~michi8613/better.gif

That's pretty good too.

[xCiaránx]

Hahaha.

[xGlennx]

I support that. Get on and jump the fuck off. Don't just stand there.

[xGavx]

Don't dance like a sap either.

[Dee]

ahahaha, that's brilliant.....stupid girl!!!

[xCiaránx]

The new version of Sleepers (I Wanna Hear Another Fast Song) is much better than the one on the Warped Tour EP anyway.

[xGavx]

When that intro came in, I was so pissed off because I thought we were getting something completely new. Things got slightly better when he sang the first line.

[HornPilot]

Take action 5 is sooo bad.

[xCiaránx]

When that intro came in, I was so pissed off because I thought we were getting something completely new. Things got slightly better when he sang the first line.
Jesus, I wasn't too pleased either, but I moved on, accepted it and started appreciating how much better this version is within a few seconds.

[xSkx]

man i love these guys i heard the do no handed cartwheels while playing . that i wanna see .i know some bands do it .

[LoSeRKiDce]

All the drum tracks for their album have been recorded...
Cant Wait for this it! :yummy:

[xGavx]

I hope you don't mind waiting a while...

[LoSeRKiDce]

i dont...Cause it'll be worth it!!

[xrobbedgex]

Why do I not know any of these bands?

[LoSeRKiDce]

http://www.myspace.com/saosin Some good ones on it...
http://www.myspace.com/saosinxx The acoustic tracks sooo good :)

[xrobbedgex]

It would seem that amazing guitar antics do not a good band make. Sorry. Not into it.

[xGavx]

They still push girls off stages like absolute champions though.

[Andy]

I support that. Get on and jump the fuck off. Don't just stand there.

word. i also hate what we get here when some gok gets up and stands there grinning like a loon making "come on!" gestures.:mad:

[xrobbedgex]

They still push girls off stages like absolute champions though.

You should have seen Kickback in Germany so. Full on booting a girl off stage.

People getting up on stage and not getting off is ass. At a Clobberin Time show the brother of one of the guitarists was up on stage 'being awesome' for two whole songs. Drunk dudes, eh? Go team.

[xGavx]

Fucking May got up on stage and just sat there for half the show during Terror/Donnybrook in London.

[xCiaránx]

New song on their myspace, SHh (?!). It's good.

[xCiaránx]

...But Voices is fucking amazing.

[Robbie Control]

Yeah, it's class.

[Dee]

SHh is a quality tune, have yet to hear Voices!!!

[xCiaránx]

http://www.absolutepunk.net/artists/players/Saosin/pop-up.php

[xGavx]

Into it.

[Robbie Control]

It's getting reviewed and stuff, has it leaked yet?

[xGavx]

I don't think so.

[Dee]

has what leaked yet???
Voices is incredible!!

can't wait for them!!

[xCiaránx]

The whole album like. That Absolutepunk review is a bit good.

[Robbie Control]

Yeah, it's gonna be amazing.

Six songs in. Decent.

[goo]

Say o sin?
or
Sow sin?

[xGavx]

First one.

[ianthefox]

I heard a vicious rumour that it's sayoshin

[Iano]

say ocean

[ianthefox]

Good ould wikipedia

Origin of name

Due to discrepency of the pronunciation of the band name, Anthony Green gave an explanation and meaning behind the name, Saosin.

"It’s pronounced SAY-OCEAN. And it’s a Chinese proverb from the 15th and 16th centuries. It means 'small heart'. Fathers used to marry off their youngest sons for money and used to tell them that they weren’t marrying for love, that their wife doesn’t matter. She could die at anytime so don’t get attached. They had to love with caution and raise their sons to be cold and unfeeling as well. I found it in the 8th grade and loved it, I used to name all my old bands that and write songs about it."

Although it is properly pronounced this way, the actual members of the group today call it SAY-OH-SIN. Therefore it is generally accepted and pronounced this way

[xCiaránx]

I'm too busy playing Broken Sword 4 to listen to this.

[Dee]

I heard it's not the greatest!!

[Dee]

Awww sweet, thanks Robbie!!

[Boyler]

Go on robbie!!!! nice one man

[xCiaránx]

I think it's class anyway.

[Reuben]

It's great. You're Not Alone sounds nothing like Saosin- I love it, though.

All sorts of fools were saying Say-oh-sin when it was still Say-ocean. Then the band started starting doing it...

[Boyler]

This album was kinda of a let down

[xGavx]

Fuck no. It's good shit.

[Boyler]

I expected better but listen to finding home and than mookies last christmas

They are the same song and its a worse version

[Robbie Control]

It took me a few listens but yeah it's pretty damn good.

[Robbie Control]

Voices[Acoustic] (http://www.sendspace.com/file/s6lk00)
:)

[Dee]

ehhhhhhhhhh, APPARENTLY they're not selling this in HMV, Tower or Virgin!!
what the hell's that aboot?????????????????

I personally didn't go in and check, but I had a reliable one on the hunt!!

[knockmark]

as usual, never get any cds in, try interpunk.com, theyre pretty cheap

[Dee]

Thanks for that!!!

it's sooo annoying when that happens though!

[knockmark]

most places in town arent great for cds, better selection online

[xMac Kellx]

I'm into it these.

[xCiaránx]

I'm into not making any sense.

[xMac Kellx]

I'm not into these.*

[xCiaránx]

That acoustic Voices is outstanding though.

[Robbie Control]

Yeah, Cove's voice is a bit dodge in some bits. But it's still class.

[xMac Kellx]

Are you sure?
Yeah.

[xGlennx]

I'm into it these.
Just that it looked like you were trying to say either; I'm into it, or I'm into these.

[xMac Kellx]

That's my final answer.

[buryyourfuckingdead]

saosins new cd is amazing. track one "its far better to learn" is my fav one on it.

[Dee]

ohhhhhhhhh my guys....how could ye not like it???

it's quite fantastic to say the least!!
a huge thanking you to Gav and Iano for putting in the combined effort to copy it for me!!!

woooooooo, they're brilliant!!

[xGavx]

Haha, Cove at the end of Lost Symphonies from this new Myspace secret show.

[Robbie Control]

Is there a rip of these yet? Myspace is being a bitch.

[xGavx]

It's on IRC, yeah. I'll upload it if anyone wants it.

[Robbie Control]

I do. Please.

[xGavx]

It's on its way.

National suppliers suck. That's what it's about.


Mark and Ronan played me some of their stuff last night. Pretty cool, Dead Poetic-esque. Might just have a go of this album.

[knockmark]

maybe on thurs i will have t for u

[Ronan]

Dead Dead Poetic-esque. Not that I'd know. But it is deadly like that.

Heh, the nail's head got hit when someone said "he sounds like the guy from coheed...but good!"

Mark, YSI me it? :yes: Where'd you say you bought yours?

[Iano]

im still not loving this new album, i just wasnt as into the songs i heard when anthony left.

[knockmark]

[Ronan]

I just wanted to be quoted by Ro
Heh, glad to oblige ye.

[Dee]

I really really love this album!!!

[JoePie]

CLass album.
Thats two bands I like on Taste of Chaos now.
Disregarding The 'Grades, like.

[LoSeRKiDce]

Why hasn't this band got a thread yet??? :inquisiti

[xCiaránx]

Are you for real?

[Wez-o!]

Best band. THN is way better than the album.

[Ronan]

Best band. THN is way betterHaven't heard it... TtN is class, though.

[roxynotes]

oh I saw them live almost a week ago, they were rather fantastic. The lead singer had the coolest hat on, and then later I got some autogrpahs, yay! awesome band :)

[ralphatron]

Such a good band, only like one bad song on the album.

[xGavx]

Props.

[Robbie Control]

Still class.

[LoSeRKiDce]

Whoops, I should really have searched more for the thread. :rolleyes:
Absolutely love this band, I'd kill to see them play somewhere like the Voodoo lounge or somewhere small.

[Wez-o!]

Anthony Green singing Seven Years acoustic at 0:22 to 0:35 sounds like he is on Helium

[DebbyDoesDamage]

I secretly love this band so much. So, so much. I stood in the shadows backstage and rocked out alone when they played at Taste of Chaos. ...It was a very lonely emo moment.


Absolutely love this band, I'd kill to see them play somewhere like the Voodoo lounge or somewhere small.

would be RAD

[Sean-Lugsy]

Would never happen.

[DebbyDoesDamage]

Would never happen.


Its grand, I'm gonna get them to play my super sweet sixteenth.

I could actually see them being very down with that.

[colly]

does anyone no their song your no angel? its on my itunes but i dont actually know if its them or not. maybe a demo

[LoSeRKiDce]

Would never happen.

Not with that attitude. :smug:

[Black Richie]

I love how the lead singer pointed out his grandmother in the box at taste of chaos.

[xSkx]

This band has been ruined for me .

[ianthefox]

How so?

[Mark]

CLASS at download this year, one of the highlights.

[xSkx]

the songs that are like your least favourites played over and over in cars tends to ruin a band for me and ive been into these guys for so long.

[ralphatron]

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u227/blshep8/bands/saosinguitarvideo.gif?t=1189030668

[xCiaránx]

Way old.

[xGavx]

Fucking page two like.

[Wez-o!]

Sean-Lugosi does that with his PRS constantly.

[xSkx]

some day ill be doin that and my other tricks in a band.

[ralphatron]

Way old.

Fucking page two like.

Balls.

[Ronan]

I know it's lame, really, but I seriously found this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tb8UQaBq3OY) the funniest shit ever.

I love watching (good) drum-only cover vids of this band on youtube.

[Black Richie]

I know it's lame, really, but I seriously found this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tb8UQaBq3OY) the funniest shit ever.

I love watching (good) drum-only cover vids of this band on youtube.

That really isn't funny... like at all... Sorry.

[Wez-o!]

BEST THING EVER. DONT MIND BLICHIE!

[colly]

ha ha thats class. pissed myself at 0.33

[colly]

ok so is this saosin, can anyone tell me?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RQFFOZRG

[Wez-o!]

Your not alone is a song from their album.

[Wynnie]

Started listening to these again lately, Can't stop. Such a good album. Such a good band.

[Wez-o!]

(x + y)/z = Saosin

[xCiaránx]

x = z(Saosin) - y

[xGlennx]

Saosin = zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[eeeeehhhhhh]

I like Saosin way more than Circa Survive. I dunno what's wrong with me.

[Ronan]

Once you recognise something is wrong with that, there's hope.

[xCiaránx]

Oh dear. Sort yourself out.

[xGavx]

Saosin are better.

[xCiaránx]

You need to sort yourself out too.

[eeeeehhhhhh]

IF YOU KEEP ASKING ME I'LL MELT AWAY IN THE SUMMER AAAAAAAAIR.

I stand by my decision.

[Ronan]

Jesus, you pick one of the only Saosin songs that doesn't have awesome drums on it and all.

[eeeeehhhhhh]

Yeah, I love Saosin for the deadly drumming...

[xGavx]

That's such a good song.

[eeeeehhhhhh]

Gav gets it. The rest of you are silly.

[xCiaránx]

That song has a good chorus. Many Saosin songs are good. Circa Survive are still way better.

[xGavx]

Gav gets it. The rest of you are silly.
I don't think there's anything wrong with you for liking Saosin more though.

[Ronan]

Yeah, I love Saosin for the deadly drumming...

I... really, really hope that you do. Without it loads of their music would be the most boring thing ever.

I Can Tell is still great though, yeah. The best bit's definitely the sort of key change in the last few bars.

Based on the newer Saosin stuff I've heard there's clearly no competition now, people saying otherwise are just trying to hate on CS (or are just idiots), because the new Saosin is definitely terrible.

[xGavx]

Saosin have a shitload of class songs and Circa Survive have like two.

[ianthefox]

Ah Circa have a shitload of class tunes too.

I'm going to spend the next week listening to these two bands a shitload, and make my decision.

[Ronan]

Haha, I know you'll do the right thing, Foxy ;) Either way you can't lose

[Wynnie]

The hi hat sound on the album makes me hard. So crisp.

[eeeeehhhhhh]

I... really, really hope that you do. Without it loads of their music would be the most boring thing ever.

I Can Tell is still great though, yeah. The best bit's definitely the sort of key change in the last few bars.

Based on the newer Saosin stuff I've heard there's clearly no competition now, people saying otherwise are just trying to hate on CS (or are just idiots), because the new Saosin is definitely terrible.

Music is entirely subjective. You're being ridiculous by saying one band is better than the other based on x y and z. The technicalities of the music have no bearing on how much you enjoy it. And I haven't heard the new Saosin stuff. I'm definitely being an idiot though. Obv. Stop being a music fascist.

[Wez-o!]

x, y and z refers to Saosins music being formulaic and predictable.

CS are way better.

[knockmark]

i used to prefer Saosin, but then i realised CS are alot better, Wez was the same

[Wez-o!]

Yup. Mine eyes were open.

[knockmark]

Darpa Chief?

[Reuben]

I Can Tell is the best Saosin song. CS are better overall, I reckon.

[Ronan]

Music is entirely subjective. You're being ridiculous by saying one band is better than the other based on x y and z. The technicalities of the music have no bearing on how much you enjoy it. And I haven't heard the new Saosin stuff. I'm definitely being an idiot though. Obv. Stop being a music fascist.

I'm definitely not the one being ridiculous here. I like both bands. I have good reasons to. We have a different level of appreciation of the bands, though. Everyone thinks their own style/level of appreciation of music (or probably anything) is the best one, I'm sure. I'm no exception, evidently neither are you.

Taste in music is pretty much subjective, yeah.
The only "technicality" I mentioned was how good (and therefore vital in determining how enjoyable or "good" their music is to me) I thought the drumming is. You responded with some remark about not caring about Saosin's drumming. Good for you for not appreciating a huge aspect of the music, I guess...?

Doesn't make me a music fascist just because I can/do say why I even like a band's music.
I could just as easily call you a subjectivity fascist for trying to dictate to others what is/is not subjective. That'd just be stupid though.

Also, I don't see why you'd have take what I said about idiots so personally, because if you haven't heard Saosin's new stuff then it couldn't possibly apply to you. Obv.

My first comment about "there is something wrong with that" wasn't totally serious, like. After that the only real point I care to make is that liking/hating an aspect of a band's music (i.e. drumming) > failing to feel any way or form any opinion on that aspect.

[Sean-Lugsy]

Both shit bands.

[xCiaránx]

I'm deadly serious. Circa Survive are way better than Saosin and that's just how it is.

[Sean-Lugsy]

Yeah. I'd probably agree that they make more interesting music. I do listen to them both in equal amount, though. And the drumming argument is moot, seeing that the drumming in CS definitely is one of the most interesting aspects.

[Boyler]

http://www.mediafire.com/?v4z5wij1gdw

Two songs of the new album if anyone wants them

[xCiaránx]

Yep, still playing the same song.

[Mark]

I loved that video where the guitarist was pimping some online music college type affair, insinuating that it was assisting his musical development and fresh ideas and technique. The clip finishes with a new Saosin track that sounds exactly the same as the stuff he's been writing for years.

[xCiaránx]

Haha, yeah. The musical palette has truly been broadened.

[Clairy]

haven't listened to CS really, love Saosin. what songs should i check out by CS?

[Sean-Lugsy]

Every single one of them.

You should hate them at first. For a very long time. Then suddenly have an epiphany that they are the best.

[Sean-Lugsy]

Act Appalled is probably the most accessible song they have, IMO.

[xCiaránx]

That was the tune that started it all for me. I knew instantly that they were the real deal.

[Ronan]

Yeah, people should be having their epiphany on first listen.

[xCiaránx]

http://www.mediafire.com/?ijzmn5mnbum

The Japanese edition appeared a while ago.

[charizard]

Just downloaded the latest CS album and im hearing them for the first time. Holy fuck they rule so much and only a few songs in.

[xCiaránx]

Nice to see an epiphany on first listen there.

[Sean-Lugsy]

He's lying. Everybody lies...

[charizard]

Well this kinda thing is right down my alley, so it was easy for me to get into it.

[Wez-o!]

Which album did you get Sean?

[Nev]

The latest one.

[knockmark]

lol

[xCiaránx]

Yo, which album are we talking here?

[charizard]

I got "On Letting Go".

[Sean-Lugsy]

Ah see there's yer answer. Juturna is less of a first time listen epiphany album.
