I discovered Saosin during 2003 and THEY.BLEW.MY.MIND. At that time, screamo bands really blew the scene off its hinges. Saosin had fantastic guitar riffs and the drummer sounded like he had 8 arms while the vocalist screeched his lungs off. The video I uploaded here in Sanriotown (in hopes of enlightening you people) is for Seven Years, the very, very first single they released:

 The vocalist then was Anthony Green (inset). He had amazingly high singing voice and he screamed like a banshee. He was eccentric onstage and people often questioned his sexuality.

Sadly, he left the band and joined the band Circa Survive (which is equally good). He was replaced by a man named Cove Reber. Check him out.

Even his stage presence was a little sub-par compared to Mr. Green, he did lead the band to their first album release. Saosin reached all-new heights with him as the frontman.

What do you think? Who’s better? For me, I’m leaning more on Reber because he has much more vocal control, although Green has much more intense stage presence which is also important when it comes to ROCKING OUT.
