Anthony Green

There’s something about Anthony Green that draws scene kids to him like bugs to a light. As the self-proclaimed “ moshtradomus “, Anthony Green fronts Circa Survive, reps the skunk mask in The Sound of Animals Fighting, and has his own solo band with the members of Good Old War. For a man, Anthony Green has an awfully, shall we say… high pitched …voice.  Its almost shocking how feminine he sounds, especially when you see the number of scenester/XedgeX brodudes that swoon over him at any given Circa/A-Green/old school Saosin show.  I don’t know what it is about him that gets all thoses scene hearts beating, but scenesters treat him like an indie Joe Jonas. Apparently, when he walks into a room, A. Green gives off good vibes, something his devout worshippers live for.  Personally, I love the man, but I think scenesters may be mistaking “vibes” for being high and having a huge ego .  He’ll sit on a  stool in front of a crowd, grin like a fool and ask for a smoke, only to be replied to by cheers and screams and the occasional gutteral “I LOVE YOU D00D”. Maybe it’s his eyes. Anthony Green has some crazy blue eyes, that to any true believing scene kid, he can read into the soul. Maybe its because he is the innovator of softcore moshing, getting kids to throw down to an acoustic. Whether it is his magnetic personality or ten gallon ego, Anthony Green has some major scenester cred even with his incredibly boring and repetitive solo release. Sorry Raneri, there’s another Anthony that can rock an acoustic with half the effort for twice the scene points.
