Saosin

The original lineup for Saosin, consisting of Burchell, Shekoski,Sorenson and former vocalist Anthony Green, was formed in the summer of 2003.[6] On June 17, the band released their first commercial production, the EP Translating the Name.[7] It was an immediate success and was immensely popular on online forums and music sites. Saosin first became popular through promotion and exposure through the Internet. They became known for their special musical styles long before their first studio-length album was released, and were popularised on social networking and music sites such as MySpace.[8]

Drummer Pat Magrath and Bassist Zach Kennedy left the band early on. Kennedy left for personal reasons, and he wanted to pursue a career in art.[9] He was later replaced by Chris Sorenson. Magrath, who was a former drum technician for American thrash metal band Slayer, was never properly with the band; according to Burchell, he was hired only for the recording for the EP, and he was replaced by Alex Rodriguez after the release of Translating the Name.[10]

Shortly after the EP's release, Saosin went on a U.S. tour with bands Boys Night Out and Anatomy of a Ghost.
Saosin confirmed that they would tour from January 21 to February 8 with Armor for Sleep, Meriwether, and The Bled; from February 9 to February 16 Fear Before would join the tour.

They went to Australia between February and March, after which they performed in Singapore on March 7 as the opening performance for Incubus on their Light Grenades Tour. On their way home they also visited Bali, Hawaii and Mexico.

After two final shows at home in California in April, they have stopped touring. They announced on their MySpace, "We are currently writing our second full length record and hope to have it out by early 2009, Stick around."

They will be touring with Underoath and The Devil Wears Prada during the fall of 2008.

They are currently in the studio recording their new album and are partnering with Hurley to broadcast the recording process live at Hurley's website.[12]

Saosin released a new EP titled The Grey on October 14th. It will be sold on tour and through hurley.com and will feature three new songs, as well as an acoustic version of "Come Close." [13]
