Despite the changes in Saosin's sound, the crowds have kept coming, hungry for new material. Cross-country treks with bands like Boys Night Out led to slots with AFI and the Taste of Chaos tour. Last year the group signed with Capitol Records. Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Head Automatica) produced the new disc, which cranks up the sheen from last year's self-titled EP, breezing from double-guitar crunch to anthemic choruses. And like the rhino beetle on the album cover, Saosin, compared with the band's initial sound, is slighter but still formidable.
