It all started during sophomore year of high school.
I was a big Incubus fan then and with my little allowance, I tried saving for every Php450.00 album they released. Seated at my back was a skater guy and he knows this. He asked if I knew Azwethinkweiz and I can't believe I said no. I thought I was this big fan. He then asked if I knew Saosin and again, I can't believe I said no.
So one morning, he let me listen to a song on his earphones. I liked it immediately. As the song reached it's chorus, the vocalist growled which I actually found (in its own way) melodic. I asked what the vocalist growled. He said, "I will find a way without you." Thus began my love for screamo (or post-hardcore if you want to be technical) and my never-ending quest for other underground bands. My musical journey really started with Saosin.
Fast forward to this year, finally they're coming to Manila! Unfortunately, I go for Green on the whole vocalist debate. Still excited though. :)
Best songs of Saosin: Not just because of the bias, but it's mostly from the Translating the Name EP (Seven Years, I Can Tell, Translating The Name)
