SAOSIN - Translating The Name 12" (Picture Vinyl)

Label: Born Losers

Saosin is a post-hardcore band from Orange County, California. The band was formed in 2003 by Beau Burchell, Justin Shekoski, Zach Kennedy, and Anthony Green. They emerged from the emo and post-hardcore scenes in the early 2000s as one the most fierce and exciting new bands.

Their first EP, Translating the Name, released in 2003, is known for it's super high energy, harmonized vocals, lead guitar riffs with delays and natural harmonics that create beautiful melodies. The album was released before Anthony Green initial departure from the band to form the rock band Circa Survive (Green later returned on Saosin's 2016 album, Along the Shadow). It is also the band's only release to feature bass guitarist Zack Kennedy, as well as the only release to not feature drummer Alex Rodriguez.

To celebrate their 20th anniversary, a super limited and highly collectible pressing of their classic debut EP on picture disc vinyl is available via Born Losers Records.
