Anthony Green

Anthony Green (born April 15, 1982) is an American singer from Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

He is currently the lead singer of Circa Survive, Saosin, The Sound of Animals Fighting, and L.S. Dunes, while also maintaining a solo career.

He was previously in the bands Audience of One, Jeer at Rome, High and Driving, and Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer.

Green is known for his distinctive, high vocal timbre.

Anthony Green's first band formed in 1997 while he was in high school with classmate and musician Tommy Dougherty (Junction 232).

The band originally had Dougherty on guitar and Green on bass and vocals.

Eventually, they recruited drummer Evan Madden.

Green wanted to name the band 'Saosin', but Dougherty and Madden decided against it.

Before settling on the "Audience of One" name, they played a few shows under the name "Handsome Pete" in 1998 and one show under the name "The Bill Bixby Experience".

Due to problems with Evan's availability to practice and play shows, they sought out a new drummer.

Green and Dougherty switched bass and guitar duties.

Green met drummer J.D. Foster (Makeshift/Yellow 5) at Days Away's first show in summer of 1998.

Foster tried out and musically they clicked right away.

The band recorded an LP entitled, I Remember When This All Meant Something at Skylight Studio in the summer of 1999.

It was released on Break Even Records on December 3, 1999.

During the summer of 2000, Greg Itzen (Days Away/Like Lions) was welcomed into the band as a second guitar player.

As a four-piece, they recorded a four-song demo EP at Skylight Studio.

That fall, two of the members went off to college and one enlisted in the military.

Audience of One was deemed 'on hiatus'.

From April 12–13, 2000, a four-song demo EP for a hardcore/metal project called "Jeer at Rome" was recorded at Skylight Studio.

The band was composed of Anthony Green (vocals), Steve Mensick (guitar), Mike Lepone (guitar), Chris Mensick (bass) and Luke Carmen (drums) The self-titled demo was released on compact disc.

They played a handful of shows during the spring and summer of 2000, but apparently dissolved soon afterward.

Anthony sang on seven songs on Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer's self-titled first album.

The recordings took place mostly in 2000 and 2001 and were released in early 2002.

At that time, the band consisted of Rachel Minton (vocals and keyboards), Anthony Green (vocals and backup vocals), Vince Ratti (guitar and keyboards), Bob Bonocore (vocals and bass) and Rick Delello (drums).

Green and Zolof parted ways in early 2002 due to Green's need to "work some things out" in his personal life.

They still remain good friends.

One year later, Ratti and Minton helped Anthony record vocals over the Saosin instrumental demo recordings, then known as 'The Gift'.

Green recorded a four-song EP in 2002 at Ratti's Skylight Studio in Fairless Hills, PA. Green recorded most of the instruments himself except for drums and some keyboard parts.

Tim Arnold (Days Away/Good Old War) supplied the drums and Ratti and Minton tracked some of the keyboard parts.

Their first album, an EP, consisting of 5 songs, was recorded in February and March 2003.

Magrath was a studio musician hired to play drums on the album.

The drum parts were written largely by Burchell with Alex Rodriguez in mind.

Rodriguez was to assume the role of drummer, but he had obligations playing drums for the band Open Hand at the time.

Chris Warner filled in on drums during early rehearsals.

Two years later, Green contributed vocals to the Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer song "This Was All A Bad Idea" off of their album The Popsicle EP [2004].

The recording was shared on the internet since early 2004 and ended up being officially released on the deluxe version of Avalon on August 5, 2008, on Photo Finish Records.

The original lineup of Saosin consisted of Anthony Green (vocals), Beau Burchell (guitar), Justin Shekoski (guitar), Zach Kennedy (bass) and Pat Magrath (drums).

In 2012, Ratti mixed Circa Survive's fourth album, "Violent Waves".

Minton also contributed backup vocals to the song 'Suitcase'.
