Saint Social has officially dropped their first EP, Don’t Let The Fire Die, four tracks that seamlessly melt together to take the audience on a journey through the band’s real-life experiences.
From the rock-inspired instrumentals of “Swagger” to the vulnerable and introspective lyrics of “Be There,” Saint Social has truly created something that shows who they are as a band. The group’s unique sound is reminiscent of their long history as friends, the individual struggles they’ve faced, and their ultimate reunification. Each track has its own distinctive sound, each telling a different part of the story. Our favorite is the title track. “Don’t Let the Fire Die” has an epic sound that will keep you staying upbeat in positive, even when things aren’t going your way.
“Ultimately, we wanted to make something that was life-affirming and that made the sound of joy, the soundtrack that could carry us through a lot of painful circumstances that we, our families, and friends experienced in the last several years. We lived through these songs…we bled these songs…and outside of us, our close family and friends did too…we did this as much for them as we did it for us. This is a very, very personal artistic expression.” – Quinn Erwin of Saint Social
Don’t Let The Fire Die has been in the works for a while, with “Swagger” recently being released as the first single. You can really feel the emotion and vulnerability that the band put into this piece of work, which makes it that much more special. The Gulf Coast indie-rock band, made up of longtime friends Quinn Erwin, Bryan Bourque, and Justin Gollott, gives nods to influences like The Killers, Kings of Leon, The Strokes, U2, and Coldplay.
