Saint Agnes return with their new single ‘Brother’, the first new material since their goliath debut album ‘Welcome To Silvertown’.

Written backstage and road-tested immediately, the band honed ‘Brother’ into three minutes of heavy beats and spitting punk vocals, igniting mosh pits across Europe all summer. Built around an insistent, groove-heavy guitar riff, the song deals with the complex relationship of sibling love and rivalry. Kitty’s notoriously unhinged live presence is captured in a ferocious vocal, where her repeated refrains demand attention with insistent ferocity. ‘Brother’ is mean, dangerous, and utterly irresistible.

Kitty A. Austen (vocals/guitar), explains: “Saint Agnes and our wider family are a fucked up tribe of weirdos, outsiders and freaks, and we are a home for anyone who’s never felt like they quite fitted. Our new EP is a celebration of the strange.”

She continues “We wanted to create something that was bold in its simplicity and disarming in its honesty. The songs have a child-like narrative – a direct voice that cuts straight to the heart of things in a way that only a kid can. The songs are about powerlessness and empowerment, bullying and being a bully, loving and hating the same person. The imagery is twisted and disturbing with shadows and monsters – just how a kid imagines things.”
