California's Saosin mixes post-hardcore aggression, alternative rock melody, and dashes of screamo and emo to alight on their soaring, thundering sound. After building up a substantial buzz via constant touring and a well-received EP, Saosin delivers with their self-titled 2006 debut. There's no posing here, rather the power on this album comes from emotional honesty, impassioned performances, and a carefully crafted sonic landscape of layered guitars and a jackhammer rhythm section. SAOSIN is a debut that culls from some of the most appealing elements of the alternative rock and post-hardcore scenes, and consequently makes Saosin a band to watch.
