The Saints are an Australian punk rock band formed in Brisbane in 1973. Founding members included Chris Bailey and Ed Kuepper. Their single '(I'm) Stranded' and subsequent records were influential on the 1977 punk movement.

Formed in Brisbane (1973). Founding figures include Chris Bailey and Ed Kuepper. Debut single '(I'm) Stranded' (1976) and debut album (1977) are frequently cited; albums 'Eternally Yours' and 'Prehistoric Sounds' are key late-1970s releases.

Three DeBaser reviews discuss The Saints' landmark early records and a 2014 concert recollection. Critics highlight (I'm) Stranded as seminal, note the band's R'n'B and garage influences, and reflect nostalgically on their impact on 1977 punk.

 One of the greatest rock bands ever to emerge from Australian soil, along with "The Birthday Party" and "Radio Birdman", who, following the teachings of the latter, manage to forge the best debut in punk and all rock genres.
