Saosin Albums

After a number of tours, including the Vans Warped Tour and a 2008 tour with Underoath, the rock band Saosin has really made a name for themselves in the music industry. Fans know that this quintet of Cove Reber, Chris Sorenson, Alex Rodriuguez, Beau Burchell, and Justin Shekoski can deliver sold-out shows at clubs but what they may not know is that the band has found success through recording sales despite their atypical approach to writing, recording, and promoting themselves and their music.

Album Release Record

Saosin has released three EPs and two full-length albums between 2003 and 2009. They have performed on four Vans Warped Tours, a Rockstar Taste of Chaos event, and the 2007 Projekt Revolution tour. The band has performed internationally, with concerts in the United States, Australia, Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore.

EPs

Saosin’s first EP, “Translating the Name,” came out in 2003 as a self-release that they were able to promote on the Vans Warped Tour that same year. Their lead singer left the band, but recent high school graduate from San Diego, Cove Reber was happy to take his spot. With Reber in place, the band was solid and optimistic and decided to sign with the Capitol Records label.

The second EP, Saosin, was produced by Howard Benson in time for a 2005 release as a sort of preview for their first full-length album with the same title.

The Grey EP was put together in 2008 just before Saosin went on tour with Underoath. It includes three new songs and two acoustic tracks. The EP was marketed while on tour as well as online through hurley.com.

Saosin

This 12-track album was released in September of 2006 as the debut Saosin album. While many of the songs were remakes or revisions of previous demos, the album was well received by fans around the world. A limited edition version of the album included two music videos and some behind the scenes footage of what went into the production of the album.

In Search of Solid Ground

The most recent album release took place in 2009, and “In Search of Solid Ground” hit # 22 on the Billboard 200 as well as an impressive #7 ranking on the Top Rock Albums chart. The initial recording was done in Malibu with the help of producer Butch Walker. The universal themes incorporated into the album’s 13 tracks touch upon a quest for truth, the fragile nature of relationships, and the necessity of pain in the growth process. While the ideas are easy for listeners to relate to, they are presented from a new perspective that makes the album interesting and appealing to new and old fans alike.

Saosin finished the recording and producing of this album on their own, thanks to the rehearsal studio they built in Orange County as well as the equipment they travel with on their tour bus. With the Pro Tools rig housed in the back of their bus, they are able to keep the creative juices flowing even with the demands and expectations placed upon them while on tour. When “In Search of Solid Ground” was completed, Saosin headed back on the road for their fourth Warped Tour during which they were excited to play their newly recorded songs live for fans.
