Career
Circa Survive
Anthony Green joined California rock band Saosin in 2003 but left it in early 2004 after becoming dissatisfied with the group's musical direction.[1] He then founded Philadelphia-based Circa Survive, which signed with Equal Vision Records, this new project changing his musical vision from the original Saosin "screamo" scene to indie/experimental. Within a year, they had released a limited edition tour EP, The Inuit Sessions, and a full-length album, Juturna. Anthony Green has since started a family but still tours with Circa Survive and continues solo work.
Circa Survive's shows included an opening slot on Thrice and My Chemical Romance's tour and Mae's headlining tour.[2][3] They released their second album, On Letting Go, in May 2007. They parted with Equal Vision in August 2008. Their third album, Blue Sky Noise, was released in April 2010. In November 2010, they released an EP, called "Appendage".
The Sound of Animals Fighting
Green was (from between 2004–2008) part of another side project with members of Finch, Rx Bandits, Days Away and Chiodos under the alias of The Skunk, each member of The Sound of Animals Fighting was equipped with an animal mask to hide their personas and give the band creative inspiration. His collaboration within this side project with contemporary musician Craig Owens (alias: Ram) has led to heated comparison of the two artists amongst fans.[4] Despite previous personal issues with Owens, the two have performed a duet together.[5] Green and Owens shared cover stories for Alternative Press in September 2008.[6][7]
Solo work
In December 2005, Green embarked on a mini solo tour, opening for Fred Mascherino (ex Taking Back Sunday, as The Color Fred) including a stop in his hometown, Philadelphia, PA on December 27, 2005, which was recorded in full. The set included some Circa Survive songs and some of his own.[8]
After announcing his first solo album called Avalon, Green played three acoustic shows towards the end of December 2007. During the 2008 SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, he played two daytime shows (including the Alternative Press party) as part of a five-date mini tour.[9] On the Austin dates, he was accompanied by the band Good Old War.
Avalon was released in August 2008, peaking at #44 on the Billboard 200 in the United States.[10]
In August and September 2008, he embarked on his first solo tour with high school friends Dylan Klose, Tyler Moore and Baylor Fulton in support of Avalon. Members of Good Old War again served as his backing band because of the harmony of their unique voices with Green's famous vocals, but also played their own set as openers of the tour. The main support act was Person L, the solo project of fellow Pennsylvania native Kenny Vasoli, singer of The Starting Line, and a known talented player of the Tambourine.
Green appeared in Season 4 Episode 20 of Kat Von D's television documentary, L.A. Ink.
Green announced on 11/15/11 that his new solo album entitled Beautiful Things has a set release date of January 17th 2012.
