Biography

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (2004 – present)

Circa Survive is an band consisting of former Saosin vocalist Anthony Green and members of the now-defunct This Day Forward, including guitarists Brendan Ekstrom and Colin Frangicetto. Compared to the sound of Green’s former group, the music of Circa Survive taps a different musical influence for Green, who cites Paul Simon, dredg, and Björk among later artists who have more influence on his vocal stylings in Circa Survive which are comparatively less aggressive, as well as his songwriting.

After going back to his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA in 2004 for a dental appointment, Anthony Green went back to the airport to return to California and his Saosin mates. However, he suddenly had an epiphany - that despite the fact that Saosin was close to breaking out, he knew he would be miserable if he returned. To him, Saosin was “a girl that you had great sex with, yet had little in common with,” as Green himself affectionately said. He returned to Colin Frangicetto, a friend who he had “jammed” with during his stay, and they decided to begin recording and recruiting. Thus, Circa Survive was born.

Colin Frangicetto and Anthony Green, with full support from Equal Vision Records, then recruited Brendan Ekstrom. Ekstrom had been Frangicetto’s bandmate in This Day Forward. Both Ekstrom and Frangicetto had toured with Taken during their This Day Forward days, and procured Nick Beard, previous bassist of Taken, as Circa Survive’s next member. The band met Steve Clifford through Vadim Taver of the band Marigold; ” jammed with us for a week and from there it was on,” says Frangicetto.

    when i saw them live, their set was good (despite the fact it was almost entirely violent waves songs), but their fans made it unenjoyable. always screaming for no apparent reason, pushing (even though there wasn't a pit). it was a great night until that happened. o well

    At least all of my 85 artists are great, since I don't listen to Muse.

    Saw them open up for Muse at Mohegan Sun. The lead singer was basically thanking the crowd for not booing them. And considering the performance (and the fact that his ass kept hanging out every time he jumped), a thanks for not booing was the least he could've done.

    Why are there so few Blue Sky Noise plays compared to the rest? It's their best album.

    I'm going to assume "ticklishgio" hasn't heard of Jeer at Rome, Audience of One or Saosin. Even being a demo, it still smashes that annoying Alta band. They may be underground and DIY, but all of this praise for a band who has accomplished little to nothing, why?
