Fresh off the release of their latest single “Starting Over Again”, rock band Saosin is excited to announce plans for a special 20th anniversary tour to celebrate their debut SELF-TITLED album. Originally released in 2006, the album charted at #22 on the Billboard 200 and featured hit singles “VOICES”, “BURY YOUR HEAD”, and “YOU’RE NOT ALONE”. Additionally, the album is now officially certified RIAA GOLD. The tour kicks off on October 23rd with special guests Silent Planet, Like Moths to Flames, and Save Us.
“During the creation of SELF TITLED, I don’t think we fully understood the album we were making at the time. We were just doing the same thing we have always done, and are still doing now. And that’s making the best music we can,” reflects guitarist Beau Burchell.
“We had no idea the impact it would have on so many people’s lives and the genre. Getting to revisit it 20 years later, with that appreciation and perspective, gives us a new invigorated energy that we are so excited to bring to the stage.”
He continues: “There’s a different weight to these songs when you’ve lived with them for two decades. Not only for us, but for all the fans who have shared their stories with us over the years. The connection people have to these songs is unreal, so the opportunity to share and celebrate our SELF-TITLED record across the U.S. in a live setting is something very important to us. It’s crazy to think we are at peak performance 20 years into our career, but it really does feel that way, and we are chomping at the bit to bring this show to as many people as we can.”
“Our SELF-TITLED album defined a major chapter of my life, as well as the lives of so many others,” adds vocalist Cove Reber.
“I grew up through these songs, the shows, and the touring we did together. Celebrating this record now is not only about honoring the fans who grew up alongside us, but also the new fans who are growing up with us today. We’ve come to understand what that musical era of our lives truly meant, and I’m excited to bring it back to the stage with a renewed sense of energy and excitement.”
Saosin made their explosive return this year, signing to Sumerian Records and releasing the new single “Starting Over Again.” Produced by the guitar players in the band, the track marks Saosin’s first new music in over a decade and the first in 14 years with returning vocalist Cove Reber. The current lineup features guitar players Beau Burchell and Phil Sgrosso, bassist Chris Sorenson, and drummer Alex Rodriguez.
Fans around the world can look forward to seeing Saosin live this year. The band recently had their most successful tour of New Zealand and Australia, followed by dates in Southeast Asia. They’ll be in the UK at Slam Dunk Festival later this month and will be performing at Vans Warped Tour in Mexico City and Aftershock Festival in Sacramento later this year. Following the upcoming headline tour, they’ll be setting sail from Miami with the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise at the top of 2027. For a full list of upcoming shows, please visit the band’s website.
