BIO
The Saints formed in Brisbane in 1973 with original members Chris Bailey (singer-songwriter, later guitarist), Ed Kuepper (guitarist-songwriter), and Ivor Hay (drummer).[1][2] In 1975, Kym Bradshaw joined on bass guitar.[1] Contemporaneous with Ramones, the group were employing the fast tempos, raucous vocals and "buzz saw" guitar that characterised early punk rock. Kuepper explained that they played faster and faster as they were nervous in front of audiences.[3] According to Australian rock historian, Ian McFarlane, they had developed their "own distinctive sound as defined by Kuepper's frenetic, whirlwind guitar style and Bailey's arrogant snarl".[1]
In June 1976, The Saints recorded two tracks, "(I'm) Stranded" and "No Time" with Mark Moffatt producing.[2][4] Unable to find an interested label, they formed Fatal Records and independently released the two tracks as their debut single in September 1976.[4] Their self-owned Eternal Promotions sent discs to radio stations and magazines both in Australia – with little local interest – and the United Kingdom.[1] In the UK, a small label, Power Exchange, issued the single.[4] Sounds magazine's reviewer Jonh Ingham declared it, "Single of this and every week".[5][6] EMI head office in London contacted the Sydney branch and directed that they be signed to a three-album contract.[6]
