All The Saints share new single “Gold” via Revolver; a muscular, melodic, and fuzz filled journey

“Opening with a crunchy bassline, the band slithers along with an overblown guitar fuzz while guitarist-vocalist Matt Lambert delivers a melancholic verse that is almost antithetical to the bludgeoning guitars.

Crooked Spies – ‘Chasing Light’

More from the band about the track: “This is a song we’ve wanted to write for a long time both lyrically and musically but for separate reasons. We draw from a ton of influences, to date, most of our releases reflect our garage rock, grunge, and blues backgrounds. But growing up, pop-punk, punk, and hardcore were super prevalent in all of our lives. We haven’t really showcased our love for these genres in our music yet and the song is in response to needing to flex that muscle a bit. It’s a sound that we haven’t had a chance to fully explore and one that we’ve been reinvigorated to move towards in some regards. Lyrically we just wanted to vent a bit but from a somewhat optimistic view point. ”
