Pentecostal Desert Glam Quintet The Saint James Society to Release Debut EP on February 7, 2012

Posted on Friday, December 9th, 2011

Austin, TX psychedelic garage rockers The Saint James Society have signed with NYC’s Tee Pee Records and will release their self-titled debut on February 7, 2012.

Recorded at ATX’s Cacophony Recorders (The Black Angels, Explosions in the Sky, Roky Erickson), the four song EP delivers electric rock music that brilliantly connects the dots between the late ’60s British blues-based bands and the brooding atmospheres of early ’80s post punk resulting in a hypnotically powerful sound the fabulous five-piece has coined “Pentecostal Desert Glam“.
