He attended [[La Salle College High School]] in [[Wyndmoor]], PA. He is currently the lead singer of [[Circa Survive]] and maintains a solo career. He was previously in the bands [[Saosin]], [[The Sound of Animals Fighting]], [[Audience of One (band)|Audience of One]], [[Jeer at Rome]], [[High and Driving]], and [[Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer]]. ==Career== ===Audience of One=== {{main|Audience of One (band)}} Anthony Green's first band formed in 1997 while he was in high school with classmate and musician Tommy Dougherty (Junction 232). The band originally had Tommy on guitar and Anthony on bass and vocals. Eventually, they recruited drummer Evan Madden. Anthony wanted to name the band '[[Saosin]]', but Tommy and Evan didn't like it. Before settling on the '[[Audience of One (band)|Audience of One]]' name, they played a few shows under the name '[[Handsome Pete]]' in 1998 and apparently one show under the name '[[The Bill Bixby Experience]]'. Due to problems with Evan's availability to practice and play shows, they kicked him out of the band. Anthony and Tommy switched bass and guitar duties. Anthony met drummer J.D. Foster ([[Makeshift]]/[[Yellow 5]]) at [[Days Away]]'s first show in summer of 1998. J.D. tried out and musically they clicked right away. The band recorded and released an LP entitled ''I Remember When This All Meant Something'' (1999). It was released on Break Even Records. Tommy Doughery was kicked out of the band due to conflicts with his lacrosse practices and games. Tom Trimble ([[A Trunk Full of Dead Bodies]]) took over on bass guitar. Tommy Dougherty's departure was short-lived; he was back in the band only after two shows without him. In mid-2000, Greg Itzen ([[Carousel]]/[[Like Lions]]) was welcomed into the band as a second guitar player. As a four piece, they recorded a four song demo EP in the summer of 2000. That fall, two of the members went off to college and one enlisted in the military. Audience of One was deemed 'on hiatus'. ===Jeer at Rome=== {{main|Jeer at Rome}} On April 12–13, 2000, Anthony recorded vocals on a four song demo EP for a hardcore/metal project that was recorded at [[Skylight Studio]]. The band was composed of Anthony Green (vocals), Steve Mensick (guitar), Mike Lepone (guitar), Chris Mensick (bass) and Luke Carmen (drums) The demo was released on compact disc, though it is unknown how many were made. They played a handful of shows during the summer of 2000, but dissolved soon afterward. ===Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer=== {{main|Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer}} Anthony sang vocals on six songs on [[Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer]]'s self-titled first album. The recordings took place mostly in 2001 and were released in early 2002. At that time, the band consisted of Rachel Minton (vocals), Anthony Green (vocals), Vince Ratti (guitar and keyboards), Bob Bonocore (vocals and bass) and Rick Delello (drums). Anthony was kicked out of the band in early 2002 due to his drug usage. They still remain good friends. Two years later, Green contributed vocals to the [[Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer]] song "This Was All A Bad Idea" off of their album ''The Popsicle EP'' [2004]. ===High & Driving=== {{main|High & Driving}} Anthony recorded a four-song EP in 2002 at Vince Ratti's [[Skylight Studio]] in Pennsylvania. He recorded all the instruments himself except for drums, for which Tim Arnold of the band Days Away supplied. The recording was passed around via internet since early 2004, but ended up being released officially on the deluxe release of ''[[Avalon]]'' in August 2008. ===Saosin=== {{main|Saosin}} The original lineup of [[Saosin]] consisted of Anthony Green (vocals), Beau Burchell (guitar), Justin Shekoski (guitar), Zach Kennedy (bass) and Pat McGrath (drums). Their first album, consisting of 5 songs, was recorded in February and March 2003.<ref name="History">{{cite web|url=http://www.plu.edu/~maykb/|title=Saosin - Band History|accessdate=21 May 2008}}</ref> Pat McGrath was a studio musician just hired to play on the album. Alex Rodriguez was to assume the role of drummer, but he had obligations playing drums for the band [[Open Hand]] at the time. Chris Warner filled in on drums during early rehearsals. Zach Kennedy quit the band due to personal reasons. Chris Sorenson took the spot as bassist. Danny King replaced Chris Warner as drummer around the same time. On June 17, the band released the [[Extended Play|EP]] ''[[Translating the Name]]''.<ref name="emo">{{cite web|url=http://www.emotionalpunk.com/cdreview/222/|title=Saosin: ''Translating the Name''|author=Andrew Martin|publisher=Emotionalpunk.com|accessdate=21 May 2008}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> It was an immediate success and was immensely popular on online forums and music sites. Preorders of the album came with a bonus CD containing two acoustic songs. During the summer tour in 2003, Alex Rodriguez finally took over as their drummer. ''Translating The Name'' (2003) has sold an estimated 62,000 copies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.absolutepunk.net/artists/showlink.php?do=showdetails&l=2426|title=Saosin -- band profile|accessdate=21 May 2008|publisher=Absolutepunk.com}}</ref> Green quit [[Saosin]] in mid-February 2004. ===The Sound of Animals Fighting=== {{main|The Sound of Animals Fighting}} Green was (from between 2004–2008) part of another side project with members of [[Finch (U.S. band)|Finch]], [[Rx Bandits]], [[Days Away]] and [[Chiodos]] under the alias of The Skunk (each member of The Sound of Animals Fighting was equipped with an animal mask to hide their personas and give the band creative inspiration). Three studio albums were recorded during their time together, ''Tiger and the Duke'' (2004), ''Lover, the Lord Has Left Us...'' (2006) and ''The Ocean and the Sun'' (2008). They played four shows in August 2006 of which one was recorded for a live DVD and CD entitled, ''We Must Become the Change We Want to See'' (2007). ===Circa Survive=== {{main|Circa Survive}} Immediately after quitting [[Saosin]] Green founded Philadelphia-based [[Circa Survive]], which signed with [[Equal Vision Records]], this new project changing his musical vision from the post-hardcore ("screamo") scene to indie/experimental. Within a year, they had released a limited edition tour EP, ''[[The Inuit Sessions]]'', and a full-length album, ''[[Juturna (album)|Juturna]]''. They released their second album, ''[[On Letting Go]]'', in May 2007. They parted with Equal Vision in August 2008. Their third album, ''[[Blue Sky Noise]]'', was released in April 2010 on Atlantic Records. In November 2010, they released an EP called ''[[Appendage]]'' also on Atlantic Records. Their self-produced fourth album, ''[[Violent Waves]]'', was released on August 28, 2012.<ref>[http://circasurvive.com/#message]</ref> poop. ==Anthony Green (solo work)== ===Holiday shows=== In December 2005, Green embarked on a four-date east coast mini solo tour, opening for [[Fred Mascherino]] (ex [[Taking Back Sunday]], as [[The Color Fred]]).

Green played three acoustic shows towards the end of December 2007.

In August and September 2008, he embarked on his first full fledged U.S. solo tour. Dubbed the 'I Still Feel Like A Child' tour, [[Good Old War]] again served as his backing band, but also played their own set as openers of the tour. His backing band for this tour also included Brendan Ekstrom and Nick Beard of [[Circa Survive]]. The main support act was [[Person L]], the solo project of fellow Pennsylvania native [[Kenny Vasoli]], singer of [[The Starting Line]]. ===''Jackie Haenn'' (2008)=== {{main|Avalon (Anthony Green album)}} In November 2008, Green released a two song EP entitled, ''Jackie Haenn'' to help fund his cousin-in-law's medical transport fees after she was injured in a car accident on Halloween. The songs are the B-sides recorded during the ''Avalon'' recording session. ===''Avalon [Remixes]'' (2008)=== {{main|Avalon (Anthony Green album)}} While Green was on the Avalon tour with 3/5ths of [[Circa Survive]], Colin Frangicetto worked on his remixes of ''Avalon'' in Doylestown, PA. He used instrumentation and vocals from the original ''Avalon'' recording session but also recorded many new instruments and parts himself. The remix album was released digitally on December 5, 2008. It was released as part of a preorder bundle for ''Avalon'''s first vinyl pressing. The physical compact disc of the remix album wasn't available until around January 20, 2009 when the vinyl bundles shipped. ===''Beautiful December'' (2011)=== {{main|Beautiful December (album)}} Green released a live in-studio acoustic EP called ''Beautiful December'' on the last day of his 25 days of Christmas calendar on December 25, 2011. The five-song EP was recorded in November 2011 at [[Atlantic Records]]' private studio, Studio 1290.

The album was mainly recorded in early January 2011 at [[The Big House (Avalon)|The Big House]] in Avalon, NJ by producer [[Jason Cupp]]. Once again the members of [[Good Old War]] served as his backup band and helped shape the feel of the songs much more than for Avalon. The album title comes from the lyrics of a [[Good Old War]] song entitled "Lullaby" that Green adopted as his own. Anthony's version of "Lullaby" became the closing track of the album. The album was mixed at least seven times over the course of 2011. Green announced the release date on November 15, 2011.

The live songs were mixed by [[Casey Crescenzo]]. ===Beautiful Things Tour (2nd Leg)=== The second leg of the tour comprised ten shows in June 2012. [[Good Old War]] was not available for this leg of the tour because they were supporting their new record ''Come Back As Rain'' by touring with [[The Counting Crows]]. [[The Dear Hunter]] opened and also served as Green's backing band, which, for fans of The Dear Hunter, was the most amazing night of their lives. ===''Beautiful Summer [Unofficial Title]'' (2012)=== {{main|Beautiful Summer (album)}} On June 30, 2012 Green recorded the show at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ. He was backed by [[The Dear Hunter]].
