Time is a thief, and one day you will wake up realizing that twenty years has, in fact, passed by without your permission. On a rainy November evening, in celebration of such thievery, Saosin’s 20th anniversary tour celebrating their debut self-titled album took the stage at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl. The band is a force renewed, currently fronted by vocalist Cover Reber. Opening with one of their core anthems, “I Can Tell There Was an Accident Here Earlier,” the room gave way to the blood-in-the-ears feeling you get when you find something that truly is meant for you.
Mosh pits began swirling and morphing seamlessly as the band transitioned into their new single “Starting Over Again” followed by the opening track “It’s Far Better to Learn” from Saosin. The album journey was accentuated by stand out track “3rd Measurement in C” from the band’s first EP, Translating the Name, as well as their other current single “Just Be Honest.” The bands core sound remains true to them no matter who is holding the microphone

Stunning lighting lit the band members crossing paths on stage as though their playing was like breathing. All the energy from the crowd being received and given back tenfold. The set was punctuated by a few anecdotal moments from Cove, who named the band’s landmark track “Seven Years,” as his favorite song. The crowd agreed with his ranking, exploding in a frenzied joy that never seems complete.

The band closed out the evening with its most hopeful, anthemic track “You’re Not Alone.” The song’s notes shifted the emotional tone of the room with its profoundly simple wisdom. Strangers’ eyes meeting in the same knowing way. The band’s evolution continues beautifully no matter who is holding the microphone. Big things are yet to come. We can expect their new album out next year on Sumerian records.
