    • Saosin and Bless the Fall Live in Auckland New Zealand June 9th 2010

Gig & Concert News - Saosin and Bless the Fall Live in Auckland New Zealand June 9th 2010

13 May 2010 - 0 Comments

Southern California quintet Saosin are 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.

Seemingly overnight, stylized bands playing strains of melodic post-hardcore have sailed up the pop charts. But for Saosin things have played out a bit differently. During the scene’s ascension, the band’s members have all but shunned the idea of a genre tag or an “image” - unless, of course, you count the jeans and t-shirts they soak in sweat every night onstage - and have instead focused their energies on making albums that will live or die strictly on musical merits.

With In Search Of Solid Ground, the band’s latest full-length release, emotions explode into an album that’s so intense you may want to trade the ear buds for an old-fashioned set of headphones that can capture its sonic nuances. The follow-up to their 2006 self-titled release, which bowed at No. 22 on The Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 7 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart, In Search Of Solid Ground charts a journey with universal themes – mankind’s search for truth and meaning, the fragility of relationships, the pain implicit in growth and goodbyes – from a fresh perspective.

To date, Saosin has been on four Vans Warped tours, a Rockstar Taste Of Chaos outing and 2007’s Projekt Revolution tour, in addition to a glut of headlining and support appearances alongside a tonne of rock’s heavyweight acts.

Joining them for their first venture to New Zealand since 2006’s lauded Taste of Chaos appearance are rising Phoenix metalcore players Bless The Fall. Touring on the back of their 2009 Billboard-charting latest release Witness, and having shared tour buses with the likes of Escape The Fate and Alexisonfire, Bless The Fall’s critically acclaimed live show is certain to make their first impression on a New Zealand audience a lasting one.
