THE SAINTS by The Saints (1968)
The Saints' self-titled and only album was released in the summer of 1968 to local acclaim. The album is mostly garage rock with elements of blues, containing original songs penned by Andy and Warren, as well as a few covers. It was a major hit in New Orleans and the surrounding areas, and their only official single, shot in the dark, topped local charts as well as entering national charts, hitting 61 in the top 100 in the late summer of the same year.
The band enjoyed their success and briefly toured the big cities in Louisiana and surrounding states, but by the beginning of 1969 their fame had begun to dwindle. Internal conflict within the band arose over what direction their sound should go in, and in an attempt to get back into the charts they released another song, that's not fair, but didn't reach levels their previous single did.
In the spring of 1969, the band decided to relocate to Los Angeles, and eventually managed to get a gig performing in a dive bar on the Sunset strip but after a couple of months of mediocre popularity the band parted ways.
Over fifty years later, the album is regarded as a cult classic and copies have since become rare and are sought out by hardcore record collectors.

There something so tragic about lottienat always being the “what if”
“What if” but we are both at school and are struggling mentally with our families and emotions
“What if” but now one of us has someone
“What if” but one us is being worshipped and one is a non believer
“What if” but now the burden is passed on from me to you
“What if” but now I won’t speak and now you won’t find me
“What if” but I’ve been missing and you’ve been crying
“What if” but we don’t have any time
“What if” but now you’re gone and never coming back

I've been noticing some classic Aussie sounds being released lately. By classic I mean that rocking sound that Eddy Current Suppression Ring perfected in the early 2000s.
Split System (Melbourne, Australia) is the vehicle for Aaron Mawson's (Stiff Richards) music. The Bandcamp page mentions the "riffage" of both the aforementioned ECSR and The Saints.
This is being released by a holy alliance of Goner Records (US), Drunken Sailor (UK) and Legless (Australia).
