Ok, so for about ten minutes today i thought i might be a Saosin fan. But then i took a deep breath counted to ten and came to my senses. It turned out i was actually just still an Anthony Green fan because the man is a musician worthy of praise, and a vocalists capable of amazing feats most men would not dare. Besides that hes capable of conveying a great deal of emotion and managing to some how command your attention over the music. Not to mention he is a prolific fucking lyricist.....but that's enough hand jobbing Anthony Green for one post.
When really i just want to talk about the fucking drummer. Pat McGrath, a drummer Saosin pulled in for this single EP, a man who had never played a single show with them live. They simply asked him to emulate the voracious sound of This Day Forward. Well, he pretty much took that direction and blew it out of the fucking water. Honestly if they'd managed to keep these two this band would have been fucking outrageous, possibly way too fucking talented. Maybe its better for the universe that Green went on to Circa Survive, who boasts another great drummer by the by. And as for Pat Mcgrath, well he went back to the fucking Underworld from whence he came, where he shall remain, until he is whole once again.
This EP is a constant battle between these two very talented musicians putting on one hell of a fucking show over 4 tracks. If you are a Circa Survive fan do not skim over this, it is an absolute treasure.
sounds like: Circa Survive, This Day Forward
bump.
