Saint Blonde have announced they’ve signed to Pale Chord/Rise Records via the release of catchy new track ‘Trendsetter’.
The band now find themselves on the same label as the likes of Spiritbox, Holy Wars and Thousand Below, to name a few.
Speaking about their excitement to be joining the label, the band have said:
“We feel super grateful to have a team around us now that not only shares the long term vision we have for the band artistically, but also allows us to lean into some of the things that make us unique.
“Instead of trying to force a sonic quality or viral moment, they’ve allowed us to just be Saint Blonde. And to us that’s really valuable and special.”
And to mark the news further, endearing themselves to their new label home, the band have released new banger ‘Trendsetter’.
Have a watch and a listen via the video below, which was produced by Courtney Ballard.
Speaking about their new single specifically, the Texas-based band have added:
“‘Trendsetter’ is about the short-lived nature of expression in the current zeitgeist. Everything is so rapidly demanded, consumed, commoditised, digested, spat out, and then forgotten for the next thing.
“As someone who wants nothing more than to make their art their living, this climate of consumption breeds all sorts of self-doubt, self-consciousness, and unease to make something for other people to enjoy (or what if they hate it, what if I don’t look good enough, what if nobody ever sees it).“
With a new label, the band – which consists of vocalist Hunter Fitch, guitarists Tre Rollins and Alexander Hernandez, Tyler Lee Cooper on drums and bassist Kyle Cade – are gearing up to hit the road in 2025 and release their highly anticipated debut album, which is nearly six years in the making.
