Quite Possibly One Of My Favorites As Of This Moment.
They are pretty big...

so i'm surprised there isn't a topic on them already.
Anthony Green, The former lead singer of the screamo band Saosin, fronts this band.
But They Aren't Screamo at all...

Circa Survive reminds me a lot of the Mars Volta.

you can check them out at

Act Appalled is a FABULOUS song. I have it as my myspace song.

So... What Do You Guys Think?

...I really don't get the Mar Volta comparison at all...but that's just me.

I saw them when they opened up for Dredg here in Houston back during the summer. I was pleasantly surprised, they were a lot better than I expected them to be. One guy near the front of the stage looked like he wanted to cry the entire time they were on stage, I thought that was pretty funny.

I wouldn't consider them 'commercialy big', more like 'underground big'.

I do plan on getting their cd eventually. There's just a few more that take priority at the moment.

AH! I love this band times 10!

I love all of their music, every single song.

Ok. Yeah. I also love the Mars Volta as well, I can semi see how they are the same.
