Label: Epitaph
Released 2016
California-based SAOSIN burst onto the post-hardcore scene in March 2003 with their explosive screamo-tinged debut EP, Translating the Name, on Death Do Us Part. For the recording, the band was comprised of vocalist Anthony Green, former SLAYER guitar tech and drummer Pat McGrath, guitarist/vocalist Justin Shekoski (ex-AS HOPE DIES), and former OPEN HAND members bassist Zach Kennedy and guitarist/vocalist Beau Burchell. The band's name comes from a Chinese proverb that means "small heart," as in love cautiously.
