Anthony Green
Ace of Spades — Sacramento, CA

Anthony Green is best known as the vocalist for Circa Survive, the Philadelphia post-hardcore band that's spent two decades perfecting a particular brand of angular, atmospheric heaviness. Before that, he was the original singer for Saosin, the Orange County mathcore outfit whose 2003 demo basically defined a generation's taste in discordant drums and soaring vocals. His thing is an almost liquid voice that can shift from whisper to wail without losing its emotional heft, usually over arrangements that are deliberately weird—lots of odd time signatures, dissonant guitars that somehow resolve into something catchy. Green's solo work explores similar territory but lets him breathe a bit more, trading some of the post-hardcore scaffolding for something closer to alternative rock. He's released a few solo albums that feel like the sound of someone figuring out who he is when he's not locked into a band's template. He's the kind of singer who makes people care about progressive song structures because the songs actually feel like they need to be that complicated.

Green commands a room with minimal theatrics—just his voice and the band's tightness. Crowds lean in rather than leap. He hits the emotional notes and people feel it visibly. Not a singalong moment so much as a listening moment, which somehow hits harder.

Known for Nightmare, Everything Goes On, Young Mountain, Oscillate, Sorrow

Anthony Green has maintained a solid presence in San Francisco's music scene over the years. His most recent stop was April 10, 2024 at Bottom of the Hill, the Mission District institution that's hosted countless artists navigating the indie and alternative rock space. Green's ability to connect with audiences here speaks to his staying power as a vocalist and songwriter.

San Francisco's indie and alternative rock scene has always been one to appreciate technical singers who don't need flash. It's the kind of city where a vocalist can command attention through nuance rather than spectacle. The Bay Area's progressive rock and post-hardcore lineage—its own bands having influenced countless others—creates an audience that gets what Anthony Green does: ambitious songwriting, emotional authenticity, and the kind of performance that rewards close listening.

Stay in Hayes Valley or the Mission—both neighborhoods have the kind of restaurants and bars that make a weekend feel deliberate rather than touristy. Head to State Bird Provisions for dinner if you can get in; it's precise and inventive without being pretentious. Spend a day in Muir Woods or hiking around Twin Peaks for actual views of the city. The de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park is worth a couple hours if the weather holds. Hit up a coffee place on Valencia Street in the Mission just to sit and watch the neighborhood move around you.
