Circa Survive in Concert
In their decade-plus career, Circa Survive have continued to challenge themselves and test the boundaries of musical genres. With each album they've gone outside their musical comfort zone, jumping between post-rock, psychedelic, prog, post-hardcore and shoegaze, creating a sound that's uniquely theirs yet has the power to connect with a wide swath of music fans.
Their latest album, Descensus, isn't just an impressive illustration of Circa Survive's constantly evolving creativity; it's a testament to the strong bond the five members share. They've experienced career highs and personal lows, but their dedication to each other has never wavered. "We're just in a really sweet spot in our career where a lot of the hard stuff from the beginning is out of the way, and we're in this place where we know how to write a Circa song, and we also know how to walk outside of our comfort zone together and enjoy it," guitarist Colin Frangicetto says. "It just seems like at this point now there's really nothing to be afraid of."
The band embraced that fearless mentality when they went into the studio to write and record Descensus. After months of personal upheaval for each of the members, they managed to put all that aside and concentrate on making music together. With producer Will Yip once again at the helm, Circa Survive emerged with an album that they describe as their best yet. Whether it's loud and chaotic ("Schema"), trippy and indecisive ("Always Begin") or vulnerable and dejected ("Nesting Dolls"), Descensus is the sound of a band on the same page.
Circa Survive formed in 2004 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. It didn't take long for them to catch people's eyes and ears, both for their standout debut album, Juturna, and their passionate and dynamic live shows. Each album that followed was a success, from 2007's On Letting Go to their major-label debut Blue Sky Noise (which would go on to debut at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, their highest chart position yet) to 2012's Violent Waves, which they self-released.
Circa Survive continue to evolve, creating music that challenges and intrigues them as artists. Their shared desire to constantly create something new is what's kept both their music and their bond strong.
Circa Survive is: Anthony Green (vocals), Colin Frangicetto (guitar), Brendan Ekstrom (guitar), Nick Beard (bass) and Steve Clifford (drums).

the show had its fun times and its touching moments.
The show was amazing! the crowd was killer, couldn't ask for a better group of people for this show! and the venue was great! i will be seeing them again in the house of blues!!
absolutely amazing show. NO DOUBT. Circa Survive put on an awesome performance and I was pleased with the venue as well. Well done!
I've seen this band about five times already and they've never let me down when it comes to anything, especially performing. If you are the slightest bit into Circa Survive it is a high recommendation for any one of any age to go check em out. You won't be dissappointed.
As usual the Stone Pony venue was packed. Especially for a band like Circa. However, when you have a band like Circa they should look into having them play on an outside stage. There were times when I was so squished both of my feet weren't on the floor and I couldn't move my arms. I love the energy so it's not really a complaint just a suggestion.
The show was absolutely amazing!!!! Anthony Green as always puts on an amazing performance... The opening acts were entertaining... The Beer Selection at StonePony is always good... All around a great event...
Great little Venue, Amazing band, well worth the 3 hour drive
It was an awesome show. Circa was the best but who would have thought otherwise. Anthony Green is very personal with the audience. The rest of the guys played really well. The Christmas lights sucked but Good Old War was a pleasant surprise.
Anthony Green is amazing. From singing on the ceiling to telling people not to get married. I can't wait to hear their new album. The band played perfectly. Not to mention Good Old War played a great show. Christmas Lights will no doubt soon hit the scene.
They play with all the intensity of their albums, and Anthony Green's voice is just as good as the albums. They are a MUST see!!!!!
easily one of the best shows i've ever been too. circa plays with so much energy, it's impossible to stand still. if you haven't gotten a chance to see them play, you are definitely missing out.
seen them twice, can't wait to see them again. most amazing experience. anthony green's voice is amazing, and the band just kills it.
