Welcome to the weekend you craven sluts - no, don't bother moving from your slovenly pit on my account, though you could have hoovered round a bit before I turned up...
It's Saturday and today thegeneral is going to introduce you to a band that are very special indeed. Saint Max and the Fanatics.
Oh my, Saint Max and the Fanatics. OH MY.
This post is really a heads up in anticipation of the group's debut album "Saint Max is Missing and the Fanatics are Dead", to be released at the end of October through the frankly delicious Armellodie Records. However, if you go to their bandcamp page: (link below)

You will be able to hear two of the songs from it (Soul Surrender and She Sings a Lovely Lullaby) well before release date. The album also contains tracks from last year's frankly awesome eponymously titled EP, too - which you can find by looking on the abovementioned site. Also, before you read any further, clicketh ye the YouTube clip below and have a look at them in action:
So, why should you include Saint Max in your record collection? Quite a few reasons. You know when a band instantly make you happy? That moment when you hear an opening riff, or the lead singer merely opens their mouth, an exciting sound comes out and it makes you smile and instantly want to move yo' butt? Saint Max and the Fanatics will do that. Last year's wonderful "A Life Worth Living" and "Let 'em Have It Sunshine" are testament to this - infectious, beautifully written and performed and just a fuckawesome sound. They're punky, they're ska-ish, they're poppy, they're indie but they're never dull or boring. It would be a crime if these guys didn't make it big - there's a genuine charisma and star quality to the band and gosh, oh gosh thegeneral loves them so. Please go and pre-order their album and give them and Armellodie Records your support. That's a giant great big cocking order, OK?
