The Saints

Australian rock band formed in Brisbane in 1973 by Chris Bailey (guitar and vocals), Ed Kuepper (guitar) and Ivor Hay (drums). They were considered an early punk rock band, and the first outside of the US to release a punk record (their debut single, in September 1976). They have gone through a series of line-up changes over the years (decades). See also: The Aints! and The Saints '73-'78. Founded Fatal Records (2).
