Song title: Nights in Venice
Artist: The Saints
Year: 1977
Why I like this song:
Lately I've been listening to The Saints.
The Sex Pistols and the Ramones may have spearheaded the first wave of punk in the seventies but there was also these guys: the Saints. Not as wide renowned but no less important.
Really this is the punk blueprint being fed through an Australian filter: The guitars roar like no other, the rustiness is prominent and the whole thing sounds like it was recorded in one go.
So very much a punk band.
And it is utterly glorious. Still sounds fresh and fiery over three decades later. And, dare I say it, shows up a lot of recent punk bands.
