(Sep 3rd – New York, NY) – Southern California rock quintet SAOSIN will release their much anticipated sophomore album In Search of Solid Ground on September 8th. To celebrate the release of Saosin’s new album, popular clothing store PacSun will host exclusive album premiere listening parties in over 900 stores across the country on Sep. 7th at 5:00pm with one lucky store receiving a surprise secret acoustic show from the band at 4:00pm. Fans can get location hints by following @PacSun and @Saosin on Twitter. Saosin have spent the summer leading up to the release touring as part of the Vans Warped Tour and have announced that they will team up with PacSun as headliners of the brand’s 2nd Annual PacTour which begins November 11th in Los Angeles and runs through December 20th (full schedule below).
The first single “Changing” is already #1 on the specialty radio chart and impacts modern rock radio on Sep. 15th. Saosin will spend most October on a promotion tour visting radio stations in support of “Changing,” before the PacTour begins which also features Innerpartysystem, POS and Eye Alaska.
In Search of Solid Ground has already been claimed one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 by Alternative Press Magazine is the follow up to Saosin’s self titled debut album which has sold over 300,000 copies. It is the end product of months of writing, tracking and mix sessions which Saosin fans were able to witness online in real time since last summer, with songs written and tracks demoed in the Costa Mesa, CA studio of global youth brand Hurley, where they self-produced several final album tracks. In early 2009, Saosin worked with producer Butch Walker (Sevendust, Fall Out Boy, P!nk) which resulted in 5 songs on In Search Of Higher Ground. They also worked with John Feldman (The Used, Good Charlotte, Story Of The Year) who produced 2 tracks and with Lucas Banker/Logan Mader (Five Finger Death Punch, Soulfly, Machine Head) on 1 album track. Band guitarist Beau Burchell mixed all songs on In Search of Higher Ground.
Saosin is comprised of Cove Reber (vocals), Chris Sorenson (bass), Alex Rodriguez (drums), Justin Shekoski (guitar) and Beau Burchell (guitar).
