This Bristol band is on our radar thanks to the diligence of the Verve's Nick McCabe, which fits--they make the sort of bittersweet symphonies his group once described. This is Britrock at its most drowsy and forlorn; the reverb pedal is the sad-eyed Saints' only friend. Biography The Nova Saints are a gang of five disenchanted yet ambitious mates from Hereford, relocated to Bristol, UK where they live, sleep and rehearse under the same roof. Driven by a shared love of golden-era Creation Records, and an unshakable belief in their collective music vision, The Nova Saints blend spaced out rock 'n' roll, psych-tinged pop, anthemic choruses and west coast harmonies. Among their champions is The Verve's Nick McCabe who has gone on to lend his expertise in the studio as well as choosing the band's appearance at Bristol's Ashton Court festival to mark his return to the live stage, joining them for their set finale. www.myspace.com/novasaints Read more on Last.fm.
