[edit] History
[edit] Audience Of One
This band was based in Philadelphia, Anthony Green's home town. Anthony was in high school during the time he was in this band. The band split apart due to the members going to college. Drummer J.D. Foster went on to play for Philadelphia's Belegost.
[edit] Saosin
Saosin formed in early 2003, with Beau Burchell and Justin Shekoski on guitar and Anthony Green on vocals. Within a few months, bassist Chris Sorenson and drummer Alex Rodriguez were added to the line up. In February 2004, Anthony decided to leave the band because of personal reasons. The band started working with Cove Reber on vocals as of June 2004.
[edit] Circa Survive
Anthony left Saosin in early 2004 to form Circa Survive. The band immediately gained the support of Equal Vision Records. Within a year, they had released a limited edition tour EP entitled The Inuit Sessions and a full-length album entitled Juturna.
Circa Survive has embarked on many national tours, including an opening slot on Thrice and My Chemical Romance's tour and Mae's headlining tour.[1] They also were taken overseas to the UK to open for the Thrice/Coheed and Cambria co-headlining tour in Late January early February. In Summer 2006, they began their first tour as the headlining band [2]; The Receiving End of Sirens, Portugal. The Man, Days Away, YouInSeries and Keating, among others, tagged along. Circa has just finished their 2nd album entitled, "On Letting Go," which is being released in May. Also, in March 2007, they will go on the Alternative Press tour, headlining with Cute is What We Aim For.
[edit] The Sound of Animals Fighting
Anthony is currently part of another side project with members of Finch, Rx Bandits, Days Away, and Chiodos. Anthony sings as The Skunk in The Sound of Animals Fighting. Their debut album, titled "Tiger and The Duke" was released in 2005. In 2006, they released a follow-up album called "Lover the Lord has Left Us..."
[edit] Solo Work
Anthony Green has only recently started to launch his solo career. Anthony has previously released a song entitled "I've Been Dying to Reach You," which was written and recorded by both Justin Shekoski of Saosin and himself in 2003 at John Feldmann of Goldfinger's home studio. There is also one spoken version of his poem "Jesus and the Sharp Electric Star" that appeared in the book Revolution on Canvas.
Anthony Green has sung backup vocals for The Receiving End of Sirens, A Trunk Full of Dead Bodies, Fear Before the March of Flames, and Like Lions.
Anthony Green played a Live Acoustic Set at the North Star Bar opening for The Color Fred (Fred Mascherino of Taking Back Sunday) in Philadelphia, PA on December 27th, 2005, which was recorded in full. The set included some Circa Survive songs and some of his own.[3]
Also, he opened for Coheed and Cambria in the spring of 2006 as part of Myspace's "Secret Shows" series.
Anthony Green appears as a guest vocalist on the track "My (Fucking) Deer Hunter" on Fear Before the March of Flames' album, The Always Open Mouth.
During the four shows that The Sound of Animals Fighting played in the summer of 2006, Anthony performed some of his solo work, along with acoustic versions of Saosin and Circa Survive songs as well as an acoustic version of "Stone Hearted Man", a song by his new side project with other Circa Survive members, Moshtradamus. In other live acoustic shows he has done, he played songs from his old side project, High and Driving.
High and Driving released a four song EP, but has yet to release any new material. Anthony Green has said when asked about the status of High and Driving that High and Driving is something he does on the side whenever he wants to or has time and that it's nothing too serious.
