Circa Survive


Circa Survive are a five-piece post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that formed in 2004. They came together after their members had been active in bands such as Saosin and This Day Forward. They've garnered a massive fan base during their time as a band, and currently have released five full-lengths album. They've got a crazy tour schedule, and have played with a a ton of notable bands, including Thrice, Coheed And Cambria, My Chemical Romance, Balance And Composure, Architects, Saves The Day, Fear Before, Minus The Bear, The Dear Hunter, and even Linkin Park.

As far as Circa Survive's sound goes, they are very hard to pin down. They've got some great, complex drum patterns, as well as some very meandering dual guitar work, that seems to both work with and against each other. They can be very melodic at times, but also noisy and in odd keys. Perhaps the most distinct part of their sound is Anthony Green's vocals, which not only have a very impressive range, but an incredibly unique tone. Circa Survive certainly have "experimental" and "progressive" qualities to them, but also include some very structured, composed material, making their songs not only intriguing, but catchy and memorable. This band is quite well-known, and in high demand based on the requests they get. Their first two albums are phenomenal, but everything after that is also incredible, and their latest album, Descensus, shows that they've got a lot left in them, and aren't letting up or settling down anytime soon. I have to give a major thank you to Jacob Shumaker for a lot of the material below, and I hope you all enjoy.
