Circa Survive

Anthony left Saosin in early 2004 to form Circa Survive. The band immediately gained the support of Equal Vision Records. Within a year, they had released a limited edition tour EP entitled The Inuit Sessions and a full-length album entitled Juturna. Many of the track titles and lyrics of this album were inspired by Anthony's love of the movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Circa Survive has embarked on many national tours, including an opening slot on Thrice and My Chemical Romance's tour and Mae's headlining tour. ^[2] In Summer 2006, they began their first tour as the headlining band; ^[3] The Receiving End of Sirens, Portugal. The Man, Days Away, YouInSeries and Keating, among others, tagged along. Circa released their second album entitled, On Letting Go, on May 29, 2007.

The Sound of Animals Fighting

Anthony is currently part of another side project with members of Finch, Rx Bandits, Days Away, and Chiodos under the alias of The Skunk. His collaboration within this side project with contemporary muscician Craig Owens (alias: Ram) has led to heated comparison of the two artists amongst fans. ^[4] Despite previous personal issues with Owens, the two have preformed a duet together, kissing afterwards. ^[5]

Solo work

Anthony Green embarked on a mini solo tour, opening for Fred Mascherino (ex Taking Back Sunday, as The Color Fred) including a stop in his hometown, Philadelphia, PA on December 27, 2005, which was recorded in full. The set included some Circa Survive songs and some of his own. ^[6]

Anthony has recently stated he will be releasing a solo album called Avalon in August 2008. He played three acoustic shows towards the end of December 2007 to give fans a taste of what the cd will be like. During the 2008 SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas, he played two daytime shows (including the Alternative Press party) as part of a five-date mini tour ^[7]. On the Austin dates, he was accompanied by the band Castles.

He made it clear this was only a side project and something he has "always wanted to do," and will remain with Circa Survive. According to his MySpace page, the CD will be titled Avalon after Avalon, New Jersey where he recorded most of the songs. The album is due out August 5th^[8]. The songs "Miracle Sun", "She Loves Me So", "Dear Child (Been Dying To Reach You)" and "Baby Girl" will appear on the album^[9].
