Saosin - In Search Of Solid Ground (2009)

Southern California quintet Saosin – which consists of Reber, bassist Chris
Sorenson, drummer Alex Rodriguez, and guitarists Beau Burchell and Justin
Shekoski - is one of the fastest-growing headliners in rock – earning
mainstage slots on the Vans Warped Tour, selling out clubs in a flash, going
out with heavyweights like AFI, Avenged Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance and
Taking Back Sunday and garnering an ocean of fans who’ve downloaded their
songs from MySpace over five million times – all before they’ve released a
full-length album.The forthcoming album, which will be released in September
2009, is largely selfrecorded, produced and mixed. “We basically built up a
rehearsal studio and a big drum tracking room at Hurley and got to learn what
would work best in the studio,” says Sorenson.

In January 2009, Saosin began the next phase of recording, working on a
handful of tracks at a studio in Malibu, CA with producer Butch Walker
(Sevendust, Fall Out Boy, Pink). Once again, with the help of Hurley, they
opened up the sessions to fans via a realtime, multi-camera audio/video feed.
They emerged with music for three songs and vocals for five. In February they
headed back to Orange County, where they produced the remaining vocal tracks
at their home studio.
Saosin has released two EPs, its self-titled, full-length debut and Come
Close, a live CD/DVD set. They’ve toured relentlessly – and while becoming a
road warrior is par for the course when you’re in a developing rock band,
Saosin has taken it to the extreme.
