Saosin announced this week that their lead singer Cove Reber was leaving the band.  Following the news earlier this year that the band had split with Capitol Records has lead to several breakup rumors surrounding the band.  The announcement came in the form of a post on the band's message board earlier this week by the band's guitarist, Beau Burchell.

"After 5 years with (vocalist) Cove (Reber), we have decided to part ways," Burchell stated in the post.  ;"So it will be a new experience for us, not knowing what to expect in the vocal dept, who will replace him, or if we will even find a replacement this century."

Burchell also address the band's independent status, saying "we have no label, which means we can do whatever we want. we dont have to worry about outputting garbage singles that none of us believe in, or selling records. its going to be nice.."

Reber was the band's second lead singer, replacing Anthony Green who left the band in 2004 and went on to later form Circa Survive.  The released two EPs and two full length albums during Reber's time in the band.
