Saosin - 'You're Not Alone'

Teenage girls rejoice, we have another anthem for you to sing with open hearts. Saosin’s new single ‘You’re Not Alone’ will grate on the average music listener pretty quickly but the band have done something very clever. They’ve pulled what we now call ‘a Snow Patrol.’ Despite the fact that this will annoy several thousands, it’ll also circle around the brains of the innocent and idle, pleasing them with a simple, memorable chorus. A tale of why not to commit suicide, it’s something many down-hearted youngsters can appeal to, seriously. A light-hearted take on screamo music and a clever ploy to gain millions of fans, full marks to Saosin. Their career potential has just tripled in magnitude and size. However, this won’t be to the appeal of anyone over 16 with a generous standard.

Released 26/11/07 on Capitol.
