Bastard Saint (2)

"Remember those guys that used to hang around outside your High School and sell drugs? Well, they started a band. It’s called BASTARD SAINT and it’s loud as hell. Hailing from the cold, unfriendly depths of Minnesota, BASTARD SAINT features current and former members of Martyr A.D., [a3838172], [a749939], and House Of Large Sizes. With a sound falling between Corrosion Of Conformity, [a136188], and Crowbar (2), this talented four-piece has carved out their own unique niche in a now-cluttered genre. Unlike plenty of bands today who are exploiting the genre of hard rock through the use of a carefully crafted image of booze and beards, BASTARD SAINT are the unintended result of simple hard living. Their diversity has seen them share the stage with such bands as Melvins, [a87645], Burning Brides, [a749939], Dillinger Four, The Arrivals, Skeletonwitch, [a343797], and Black Cobra, as well as a slot during the 2007 SXSW festival in Austin TX. And remember, if you like it, share it like an old beloved STD - to casual friends, random people at bars, and even your own family if that's the only way you can get off." (MySpace)
