Post Description
The Saints are an Australian punk rock band, which formed in Brisbane in 1974, founded by
Chris Bailey (singer-songwriter, later guitarist), Ivor Hay (drummer), and Ed Kuepper
(guitarist-songwriter). Alongside mainstay Bailey, the group has had numerous line-ups.
In 1975, contemporaneous with United States' Ramones, The Saints were employing the fast
tempos, raucous vocals and "buzz saw" guitar that characterised early punk rock. With their
debut single, "(I'm) Stranded", in September 1976, they became the first punk band outside
the US to release a record, ahead of better-known acts including the Sex Pistols and The Clash.
They are one of the first and most influential groups of the genre, according to Bob Geldof,
"Rock music in the seventies was changed by three bands—the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and
The Saints".
