    Biography

    Known as the lead singer of Circa Survive, Saosin, Fuckin Whatever — just to name a few projects — Green has always turned to music to find strength, but after his overdose, something changed: “I did not want to live the remainder of my life as an addict. Writing this record was a way to cope." While most of his music has grappled with the realities of addiction and mental illness, there's something different about the songs on his new solo album, Boom. Done. It was written over the last couple of years, following an overdose where Green's struggle with addiction led to him actually losing his life for up to 8 minutes, and a formal diagnosis of bipolar disorder. After Green left rehab in 2020, he started writing a song called “I Don’t Want to Die,” a sentiment that captures the raw, sometimes heartbreaking, but also hopeful nature of Boom. Done. It turned out to be a lightning strike to his songwriting and, with the help of longtime friends and bandmates Tim Arnold and Keith Goodwin of Good Old War, Green wrote one of the most intentional and formidable bodies of work in his expansive career. All across this record, we watch as Green stumbles and grows, moving from isolation “hanging vulnerable in darkness on the ocean floor,” to triumphantly asserting his will to live. Boom.
