Today marks the anticipated release of “Welcome To Silvertown,” the debut album from up-and-coming British garage rockers Saint Agnes, on Notting Hill Music Masters. Self-produced and engineered by Luke Oldfield (The Wytches, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats), the noir recording captures the true rebel heart and energy of the band that has received love from Classic Rock Magazine, The Quietus, Kerrang, Alternative Press and more in recent months, as well as being added to playlists on Apple and Spotify and being spun on Sirius XM’s Octane channel. The quartet’s inaugural album is rife with themes of wild fantasy, escapism, emotional fragility and the inside-outs of living in East London’s district of Silvertown, all bookended with the band’s incredible penchant for lyrical songwriting.
While the thuds of the opener title track (which has received 1.5 million streams on Spotify) deliver the riff-laden assault that Saint Agnes fans have come to love, tracks like “Why Do You Refuse To Die” step into new territories, inspired by the high intensity and excitement of classic Western films. The pulsing pop-noir of “I Got a Drum” arrives Gospel-indebted, while “Diablo Take Me Home” touches on their love of the blues and Jack White-esque Detroit riffery. “The Witching Hour” rockets into bold sonic territories anew, with Stooges-esque rhythms set against a Grace Slick vocal delivery.
In celebration, the latest video for the track “Move Like A Ghost” premiered on Kerrang this week—watch it here: https://www.kerrang.com/the-
Speaking of the album, the band says; “We wanted to transform everyday mundane events into moments of high drama in an attempt to better understand our own stories. We wanted to magnify and illuminate certain aspects of ourselves in order to see a little more clearly, and we wanted to create narratives that people could connect with and recognize as their own battles, their own feelings.”
Co-fronted by enthralling frontwoman Kitty Austen (vocals/guitar/keys) and guitarist/vocalist Jon Tufnell, backed up by bassist Ben Chernett and drummer Andy Head, the band’s magnetic chemistry and catchy songwriting are making their mark with many comparing their incredible showmanship and tough-as-nails attitude with The Kills, Jack White, Starcrawler and Rival Sons.
Now in 2019, the gates of Saint Agnes’ quasi-fictional sin city are flung open. Enter if you dare—there are plenty more tales from these sick streets waiting to be told.
