King Of The Sun, by The Saints

King Of The Sun

by The Saints

supported by

peter_of_perth_hills Chris Bailey has mellowed over the years, but the 2010's version is at least as good as the angry 1970's punk - just unfortunately not so well known. Dominated by acoustic guitars, it suits the gentler songs such as "Turn" and "Duty", but also the upbeat numbers such as "Sweet Chariot" and "A Million Miles Away" are the catchiest thing he's done in years. The end result is the best album under The Saints banner since, well - maybe ever?

King Feral Proper gettin' sloppy and holding hands music like nobody does anymore...for fuck's sake Chris, keep breathing. I needed this. Fuck. I love this album!
