The Saints’ 1976 debut single, “(I’m) Stranded”, was an incendiary device – launched from Brisbane, Australia, this self-released slab of punk voltage earned them ‘single of this and every week’ in English magazine Sounds. The subsequent album was more of the glorious same – a guitar sound that slices through venue walls, a brutally imperfect rhythm section, and a vocalist, Chris Bailey, both flippant and fierce. Each song was a masterpiece in rock reduced to essence – no fuss, no flash.
