Wicked Saints, an Australian alternative rock band touring Britain and
Europe. Their homepage features sound, biographies, photos and details
of their forthcoming gig.

The band is currently signed to independent label Holier Than Thou
Records and a debut album is due for release in the near future.

Since arriving in the UK Wicked Saints have already generated interest
from promoters and audiences alike and look forward to a promising
career within the British music industry. Determination to succeed is
reflected in their live performances as well as in their ability
to transfer that sound to disk.

A four piece, all-original hard rock band hail from Adelaide, South
Australia. After gaining considerable experience playing pubs and clubs
in their home state and selling more than 1,000 copies of their debut 
EP Beatification, the band cashed in their all, to travel across the 
seas to ambitiously offer the English a taste of their style of Rock
from the Southern Shores.

Profiles

Sam - Lead Vocals
Having several years experience fronting original rock bands, Sam has
already completed 3 European tours as well as session work in the USA.
Sam's powerful vocal talent and raunchy image attribute considerably to
this commercially positive rock band which injects inspiration into the
existing powerful equation.

Scott - Lead Guitar/Vocals
One of the founding members of the band, Scott displays the personal
showmanship drive typical of a band on the run - a standard both
equalled and complemented by Peter's bass runs - at live performances
all is revealed. Killer riffs and scorching solos are typical of a
night's performance. Scott surpasses all by his 'quiet achiever' song
writing ability - as if his place within the band is not already well
placed.

Peter - Bass Guitar/Vocals
Co-founding member of the band, Peter has played in several successful
Australian bands before joining Wicked Saints. Not only the bass player,
Peter also assists in delivering back-up vocals; his live energy and wry
sense of humour endear him to all at live performances.

Dave - Drums/Vocals
Dave's solid experience in Adelaide western suburb bands places him as
an invaluable asset to the band. Though a prerequisite for a solid
driving band, Dave's drumming prowess meshes powerfully to deliver the
throbbing backbone of the band. Keeping within the band's melodic, yet
powerfully raunchy sound, Dave remains a force unspent.
