How Anthony Green’s EXIT Nearly DESTORYED Saosin and Gave Rise to Circa Survive

In the golden age of Myspace and early 2000s post-hardcore, few bands generated as much buzz as Saosin. Their debut EP Translating the Name didn’t just turn heads — it sent shockwaves through the emo scene, with fans declaring them the next big thing. Armed with Anthony Green’s one-of-a-kind vocals, a fresh and aggressive sound, and a fast-growing online following, it seemed like nothing could stop them.

But then, just as the band was on the verge of breaking into the mainstream, Green walked away. What followed was a story full of twists, reinventions, near-misses, and one of the most compelling career pivots in emo history — the rise of Circa Survive.

In this video, we take you behind the scenes of Saosin’s journey — from explosive beginnings to near-collapse, from second chances to unexpected reunions — and explore how one decision by Anthony Green changed the course of two bands and helped shape the sound of 2000s post-hardcore as we know it.

Here’s everything we’ll cover:

• Saosin’s lightning-fast rise with Translating the Name
• Why Anthony Green left the band just as they were blowing up
• The arrival of Cove Reber and Saosin’s major label debut
• What really went wrong with In Search of Solid Ground
• How Circa Survive became post-hardcore royalty
• Green’s emotional reunion with Saosin — and what came next
• Where Saosin and Circa Survive are now — and what the future might hold

From label drama to personal demons, fan divisions to creative rebirths, this is the full story of how a single band split into two paths — and the emo scene was better for it.
