OUT SEPTEMBER 8TH
Bracingly crunchy and soaringly melodic, vibrating with all-out rocking ensemble work and emotional urgency, the second album release In Search of Higher Ground by Orange County, CA-based rock quintet SAOSIN has been set for release September 8, 2009, following a barnstorming summer playing this year's Vans Warped Tour.
Maintaining a hair-raising energy level throughout, the album, IN SEARCH OF SOLID GROUND, is the much-awaited end product of writing, tracking and mix sessions that Saosin fans have witnessed online in real time since last summer, with songs written and tracks demoed in the Costa Mesa, CA studio of global youth brand Hurley, where they self-produced several final album tracks. In early 2009, Saosin worked with producer Butch Walker
(Sevendust, Fall Out Boy, P!nk) which resulted in 5 songs on In Search Of Higher Ground.
They also worked with John Feldman (The Used, Good Charlotte, Story Of The Year) who produced 2 tracks and with Lucas Banker/Logan Mader (Five Finger Death Punch, Soulfly, Machine Head) on 1 album track. Band guitarist Beau Burchell mixed all songs on In Search of Higher Ground.
Saosin is playing the Hurley stage for the balance of this summer's 2009 Vans Warped Tour (full schedule below). The band will continue to use Twitter to keep in touch with fans, tweeting stage times daily, and also running album listening session contest at select Warped stops through Twitter. It is the band's fourth go-round with the festival since 2004.
Veterans of the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tours, 2007’s Projekt Revolution tour and April, 2009's Bamboozle Left festival, Saosin has shared the stage memorably with such bands as AFI, Avenged Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance, Incubus, Taking Back Sunday, Underoath and many others in recent times. The band also has Come Close, a live CD/DVD set, to its credit.
Praised by Rolling Stone for its “sheer intensity,” "powerful” by the LA Times and as “massively buzzworthy” by Alternative Press, Saosin's first self-titled Capitol album has sold over 300,000 units since its 2006 release.
Three new songs, combined with bonus acoustic tracks, from the 2008 Hurley on-line sessions were released as The Grey EP, sold on the band's fall tour with Underoath, and on-line exclusively at Hurley.
Saosin is comprised of Cove Reber (vocals), Chris Sorenson (bass), Alex
Rodriguez (drums), Justin Shekoski (guitar) and Beau Burchell (guitar).
