Ep 244: Sainthood Reps
After over a decade since their last full-length release, Sainthood Reps are back and louder than ever. In this episode, Popko sits down with Derek to talk about the band’s origins, the Long Island scene that shaped them, and their highly anticipated new record, Dull Bliss, dropping September 26th. They dive into the chaos of their early tours, the impact of the pandemic, their love-hate relationship with perfectionism in the studio, and how songs like “Blue Nothing” and “Dizzy” offer a glimpse into their evolved sound — think fuzzed-out grunge meets dreamy post-rock.
You’ll also hear stories of mosh pits, spotted lanternflies, and what it means to stay creatively alive as a band that’s been at it for 15+ years.
Spoiler: a lot of friendship, some existential dread, and really good pizza.If you’re into self-aware noise rock with emotional weight and personality to spare, this one’s for you.
