Unpretentious and straightforward, these long-haired Aussies refused 

to subscribe to the rigid definitions of the punk scene.

Roaring out of Brisbane, Australia in 1977 with the punk-era classic "(I'm) Stranded," 

the Saints, despite going through numerous incarnations, were a part of rock & roll 

for more than 20 years, thanks mainly to their indefatigable leader (and founder), 

Chris Bailey. Although they didn't play anything that passes for punk rock after 

about 1978, and despite extended dormant periods, the Saints never officially 

broke up, and Bailey always seemed to have another version of the band and 

another record ready to release. Saints' fans generally fall into two distinct camps: 

the punk-era fans (up to about 1980) and the mature pop fans

While the into-the-wind blare of the title cut was what people remembered best, 

the Saints' first album, (I'm) Stranded, had a lot more musical variety than it was generally 

given credit for in 1977, and the band stayed much farther from the standard 

punk template (which had solidified with remarkable speed in the wake of the Sex Pistols) 

on their second LP, Eternally Yours. Anyone looking for blazing 4/4 punk will find it 

in "Lost and Found" and "Private Affair," but the horn-fueled "Know Your Product" 

and "Orstralia" proved that punk could also sound soulful (Rocket from the Crypt 

owe their entire career to these cuts); the moody "A Minor Aversion," "Untitled," 

and "Memories Are Made of This" proved the Saints could slow it down and still 

sound tough and impassioned; and "This Perfect Day" is quite possibly the greatest song 

this band would ever record -- Chris Bailey's sneer of "It's so funny I can't laugh" 

is alone worth the price of admission. While Eternally Yours is a bit less consistent 

than (I'm) Stranded, the material is first-rate, the band sounds better than ever, 

and the approach suggests the pop-smart eclecticism of the band...(AllMusic)
