Saints of Lust

enough hooks to catch the ear of anyone who enjoys the elements of a great rock record. Officially released on October 31, 2015, Tales offers a more sophisticated sound & songwriting effort from the band. A departure from the Saint’s debut EP with punk and metal influences, Tales features a more polished approach to their sound. The 5 song EP features a sixth bonus track that is only available on the compact disc version. This latest collection features hard driving tunes such as “What Are You Waiting For” with a nod to the 70’s punk movement and a tip of the hat to John Lydon’s lyrical sneering. “Bullet for Your Thoughts” is a trek straight into the mind of a mental patient gone awry and “Tonight”, a twist on the subject of love & death entwined. Striving for a bolder yet more advanced sound on this collection of tunes, the group melded hook-filled melodies with hard and heavy beats to bring you songs like “Destruction” that still drive home that underlying hard rock thump but include a layered, more melodic touch where you’ll find the catchy melody setting up shop in your brain and spending the weekend. Founding member, Greg Turner came up with the name while on the highway to a show in Kansas City, MO. “I originally wanted to call the band M*therF*cker, but got talked out of it”, he laughs, “Although it would make a great album title”. The group’s debut EP, Rockstars and Dollparts, was released in July of 2014 and included fan favorites Midnight Christ, Believe and Knucklebone. The band aims to launch a new release each year along with several supporting music videos for each. Songs for the third cd have already been started with more ideas always in motion.
