The Saints are an Australian rock band, which formed in Brisbane in 1974 as punk rockers. Founders were Chris Bailey (singer-songwriter, later guitarist), Ivor Hay (drummer), and Ed Kuepper (guitarist-songwriter). Alongside mainstay Bailey, the group has had numerous line-ups. In 1975, contemporaneous with United States’ Ramones, The Saints were employing the fast tempos, raucous vocals and ‘buzz saw’ guitar that characterised early punk rock. With their debut single, “(I’m) Stranded”, in September 1976, they became the first punk band outside the US to release a record, ahead of better-known acts including the Sex Pistols and The Clash. They are one of the first and most influential groups of the genre, according to Bob Geldof, “Rock music in the seventies was changed by three bands—the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and The Saints”.

 

In early 1979, the Saints had split, leaving Bailey to continue the band, with a variable line-up, as a pop punk group. All Fools Day peaked in the Top 30 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart in April 1986. Bailey also has a solo career and had relocated to Sweden by 1994. The band was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 2001.

 

Eternally Yours is second album released by the Australian music group The Saints in 1978. For their follow up album (with Kuepper and Bailey in the producers chair) the band chose a bigger, more R&B-driven sound, including the addition of a horn section.

The original title for the album was to be International Robots and recording initially commenced at Wessex Studios. The tapes from these sessions (which have since been released on the 2007 reissue CD) reveal the songs in a more stripped down form like their previous recordings. The sessions also include “Champagne Misery”, which was not released until 2000’s Wild About You compilation.
