Austin, TX psychedelic garage rockers\u00a0THE SAINT JAMES SOCIETY<\/strong>\u00a0have signed with NYC’s Tee Pee Records and will release their self-titled debut\u00a0The Saint James Society<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0on\u00a0February 7, 2012<\/strong>. \u00a0Recorded at ATX’s Cacophony Recorders (The Black Angels, Explosions in the Sky, Roky Erickson<\/strong>), the four song EP delivers\u00a0electric rock music that brilliantly connects the dots between the late ’60s British blues-based bands and the brooding atmospheres of early ’80s post punk resulting in a hypnotically powerful sound the fabulous five-piece has coined “Pentecostal Desert Glam<\/strong>“. \u00a0<\/p>\n

THE SAINT JAMES SOCIETY<\/strong>\u00a0fuses a “raw energy” sound with the pseudo-mysticism of The Doors and the guitar-orchestrations of classic hard rock, skillfully synthesizing these musical touchstones to create their debut EP.\u00a0 An energized recording bursting with a muscularity as fuzzy-headed and adventurous as their off-stage exploits, the group’s darkly iridescent, kill-your-idols vibe is a fist-punching yelp of energy that demands to be heard at maximum volume.\u00a0 When the heavy swagger of vocalist \/ bassist\u00a0Brandon Burkart<\/strong>\u00a0aligns with the band’s heavy-footed rhythms, ticking-time-bomb beat and stunning twin vocal tandem of rebel queens\u00a0Elza Burkart<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Candice Bertalan<\/strong>, the resulting musical statement mainlines the thrill of defiance straight to the listener’s heart.\u00a0 Placing their steps in the petrified footprints left by the Velvet Underground and the slightly fresher ones of Spacemen 3,\u00a0THE SAINT JAMES SOCIETY<\/strong>\u00a0reduces the blues to one nasty lick pickled in distortion.\u00a0 Meet your new favorite band.<\/p>\n

“A long road led from San Francisco to Austin, with melodies summoned from litter and glitter,”\u00a0Burkart<\/strong>\u00a0dishes. “The Saint James Society erupted into the eternal evening. We are Pentecostal Desert Glam for the dawn of the apocalypse.”<\/div>\n


\n\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
