SAINTS, THE - KING OF THE SUN 

"King of the Sun", the eagerly anticipated new album by legendary THE SAINTS is released through Highway 125. The album features 11 brand-new Chris Bailey compositions recorded at the world famous Trackdown Studio, Sydney, and comes with a bonus disc "Songs from the Stash", a selection of classic THE SAINTS material including, "Just like Fire Would", "All Fools Day", and "Ghost Ships" amongst others. The Album : Having spent the last year and a half playing truant - as the rhythm section in a French band - Bailey and drummer, Peter Wilkinson, dust off their halos and re-focus on The Saints. "King of the Sun" was produced by Fortunato Luchresi and engineered by Sean Carey. The title track will be the first single taken from the album. Initially released in Australia November 2012 to coincide with the band's Australian tour. Chris Bailey says of the album, "The Saints have always been my main passion, despite my promiscuity and desire for musical experiment I feel that THE SAINTS are an unfinished musical journey. This album is one step closer on this road." The tracks are subtle metaphors, disguised in nostalgia or cherishment of a time gone by; they capture the difficulties and the despair of our times. THE SAINTS continue to entertain crowds far and wide, throughout the world. Over the years the band have released 15 studio albums, 17 singles, 6 EPs, 2 live albums and 10 compilation albums, not to mention Bailey's solo output and collaborations with other artists.
