Whilst still attending high school, Green formed his first band, Junction 232, with friend and classmate Tommy Dougherty. With drummer J.D. Foster, the band was renamed to Audience of One, and recorded and released the LP “I Remember When This All Meant Something” in 1999 on Break Even Records. After recording a four-song demo EP in 2000, due to members heading off the college and enlisting in the military the band was deemed to be on a break.
Subsequently Green recorded and performed with the hardcore metal band Jeer at Rome, and the pop rock band Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer. Green sung on six songs from Zolof’s debut album and has remained a loyal collaborator with the group. After this period the musician experimented with solo work and recorded the four track EP “High & Driving” in 2002, released online and later appeared with the deluxe version of the album “Avalon”.
The next project Green applied himself to was the scremo outfit Saosin, through which he earned immediate online success with the release of the EP “Translating the Name”, however quit the band before they signed to Capitol Records. From 2004-2008 Green formed the American rock supergroup The Sound of Animals Fighting, subsequently recording and releasing the albums “Tiger and the Duke” in 2004, “Lover, the Lord Has Left Us…” in 2006, and “The Ocean and the Sun” in 2008. Seemingly never satisfied, during this time Green also founded the group Circa Survive, an outlet for the musician's indie/experimental side.
As a solo artist, Green released the album “Avalon” in 2007, aided by the singles “She Loves Me So” and “Dear Child (I’ve Been Dying to Reach You)”, which peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard 200. This was followed by the EP “Jackie Haenn” in 2008 to help fund medical transport for his cousin-in-law. Green subsequently released “Beautiful Things” in 2012 which charted at No. 27 on the Billboard 200, and “Young Legs” in 2013.

Anthony Green is a musician from Philadelphia who has been an important part of the pop-punk and emo scenes. He is the lead vocalist and front man of the successful bands Circa Survive and Saosin among other bands. Alongside recording and touring with these bands, he has a successful solo career. His first album, Avalon, set the tone for his solo career with a stripped down sound and distinctive vocals that make Green’s work so successful. He has released 3 full length albums, Avalon (2008), Beautiful Things (2012) and Young Legs (2013) and one EP entitled Jackie Haenn (2008). He also released a later remix of Avalon songs that allowed him to experiment away from the more pop-punk sound of other bands that he had been a part of. When playing solo, it is only Anthony and his acoustic guitar. This provides an unbeatable sense of intimacy among Green and the audience. The audience are transfixed as he moves through his songs, often covering more well-known covers of his bands’ work like Seven Years by Saosin and Act Appalled by Circa Survive. Green’s work is musically simple when played on an acoustic guitar but it is lyrically intense. His extensive amount of experience in the music scene is clear as he plays each song flawlessly, stopping to humbly thank the audience for their presence. He cracks jokes and asks questions, with acoustic venues being the perfect place for Anthony’s natural charm to come to light. At one show with a toddler in the audience, Green speaks softly to the child warming everyone’s heart in the audience. He then breaks them again as he sings ‘everything stops/and I’m lonely and haunted/I wonder where you are’ from Too Little, Too Late. He often invites members of the audience on stage to harmonise alongside him on When You Sang to Me. Anthony Green is clearly a performer at heart – his incredible catalogue of music is a testament to his talent and the way he engages with the crowd is matched by no other. Whether solo or alongside one of his bands, a chance to see Anthony Green perform live is a true blessing.
