[citation needed] On June 17, the band unveiled their debut commercial production, the EP titled Translating the Name.
Saosin initially gained recognition through the power of the internet, cultivating a distinctive musical identity even before the release of their first full-length studio album.
[5] During the recording of the Translating the Name EP, bassist Zach Kennedy later opted to depart the band early on to pursue a career in art, leading to his replacement by Chris Sorenson.
[6] Following the release of "Translating the Name", Saosin embarked on a U.S. tour alongside fellow bands Boys Night Out and Anatomy of a Ghost.
Green, a native of Pennsylvania, cited homesickness, depression,[7] and his desire to be closer to his family as factors contributing to his departure.
[7] To fulfill their remaining obligations for the Warped Tour, Story of the Year's Philip Sneed temporarily took over vocal duties.
[8] Alternative Press noted that with the release of this EP, Saosin made waves in the underground music scene, attracting considerable attention from record labels.
[9] After an exhaustive audition process and a brief period of using guest vocalists for demos, the band introduced a new lead singer, 19-year-old Cove Reber.
"[10] Saosin embarked on their inaugural Taste of Chaos tour that winter, sharing stages with notable bands such as the Used, My Chemical Romance, Killswitch Engage, Senses Fail, and A Static Lullaby.
When Saosin returned home they continued their headlining tour with Poison the Well, the Receiving End of Sirens, Fiore and Flight 409.
[1] On July 21, 2010, guitarist Beau Burchell delivered significant news to Saosin's fans, revealing that the band had decided to part ways with lead singer Cove Reber.
Amidst the uncertainty about Saosin's future, guitarist Beau Burchell shared updates on the band's progress in the studio, expressing enthusiasm for their forthcoming record.
Reports surfaced that Charles Furney, lead singer of Secret and Whisper, might fill the vacant vocalist position.
Pearson confirmed these rumors and acknowledged his interest in joining Saosin, which ultimately led to his departure from Tides of Man.
However, Justin Shekoski clarified that although Pearson expressed a strong desire to join Saosin, the band had not met him in person yet.
In a later interview with Alternative Press, Green expressed openness to the idea of rejoining Saosin if the timing and circumstances were right while reflecting on the band's ten-year anniversary of the Translating the Name EP.

On October 20, 2022, Saosin had Green and Reber sharing vocal duties during "Seven Years" and performed "Bury Your Head" and "You're Not Alone" as the encore of the concert at The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco.
This tour subsequently faced public scrutiny due to its promotion under the title "All the Hits, All the Albums", with the band exclusively performing songs that featured Green as the vocalist.
[33] To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the band and their debut EP, Translating the Name, Saosin staged two shows in Garden Grove, CA, on June 17 and 18.
These shows featured a special opening set with Reber returning as vocalist, alongside guest appearances by Donovan Melero and founding member, bassist Zach Kennedy.
[38] On February 25th, 2024, guitarist Beau Burchell, using his official Discord server, revealed plans to have Reber feature on the band's fourth studio album.
