Philadelphia's Circa Survive was formed by former Saosin vocalist Anthony Green with guitarist Colin Frangicetto -- both of them veterans of the local emo and hardcore scenes looking to indulge in the rule-breaking freedom of the neo-progressive crusade of the mid-2000s. After Green and Frangicetto observed likeminded bandmates in minute guitar player Brendan Ekstrom, bassist Nick Beard, and drummer Steve Clifford, Circa Survive recorded their debut record album, Juturna (named after a Roman goddess), for Equal Vision Records in 2005. Lots of touring followed, including Warped Tour dates, and the album steady sold close to an impressive C,000 copies. A spotlight on the 2007 Coachella festival lED into the recent May release of Circa Survive's reexamination, On Letting Go.
