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.
