Saints and Sinners plays country music like a band thats been through the wringer of rock music and has moved onto country. Low-key and laid-back, the bands bright, bell-like guitar sounds and upbeat tempos contrast with dark lyrics. The singers raw voice sounds weary and real, paired with lines like "You can wait here to die, but you cant call this a home," and "Give yourself a pat on the back, you had a decent run/Now were feeling kind of numb/All hope is gone."

Saints and Sinners Bio

Our name comes from a line in one of our songs. In it, a man has committed suicide and in the moments before he dies he is reflecting upon his life. The line is: “Saints and sinners alike are remorseful and contrite when they’re beyond repair.” I think that this line encompasses just about everything that we’re about.

We don’t write love songs. You won’t hear us talk much about broken hearts or newfound romance. It might be easier to shy away from subject matter like religion or politics. After all, the trite and the trivial have always made for songs that the listening public readily accepts with enthusiasm. But that is exactly why we have to write these songs; because it’s not about money or notoriety. I think that if we could write one song that would make people realize how insignificant we are or how unlikely it is that we are on this planet; that if we could somehow cause someone to be a little more compassionate, a little more understanding, a little more accepting—that no amount of poverty or destitute will have rendered our efforts futile.

So if you are looking to hear stories of disconsolate lovers you’re wasting your time here. What you will hear are songs about regrets, and about disgust, and about the absurdity of our existence; about greed and hypocrisy in ourselves and in our leaders; about our strengths and weaknesses; our vices and our virtues; songs ultimately about what it means to be human.

Saints and Sinners have been playing the southern states since September 2005. In this short amount of time the band has garnered much success. Some accomplishments include placement of their song "Can't Call This House a Home" on ABC's hit TV show Friday Night Lights; a live video recording of "On Being and Believing" received rotation on Comcast Cable's channel MVSpy; and the band has been getting frequent internet radio play, even having a show broadcast live via the Owen/Wilson Indie show. The band signed an exclusive publishing deal with Rescue Records in June 2007. Saints and Sinners' sudden burst of popularity has garnered the attention of several local record labels and music promoters, enabling the band to land support slots with VH1's "Band Reunited," Dramarama, and twice with national touring act Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
