Saosin released ‘Just Be Honest’ on September 10, their second new song of 2026 and another step in the band’s renewed run with Cove Reber back on vocals. The track follows ‘Starting Over Again’, which marked their first new music in more than a decade.
Guitarist Beau Burchell says the song quickly felt like material that belonged to something bigger, and the finished track also features lead work from Phil Sgrosso. The band has not announced a new album yet, but Burchell describes the single as the beginning of a broader body of work rather than a one-off return.
A performance-style video directed by bassist Chris Sorenson arrived with the single, while Saosin continue a year that also includes their self-titled album anniversary tour and festival dates.
Why it matters
Saosin’s reunion-era activity is turning into a genuine new creative phase, with two guitar-driven singles now pointing toward the band’s first substantial new body of work in years.
