about
You know those guys that used to hang around outside your High School and sell drugs? Well, they started a band. It’s called Bastard Saint and it’s loud as hell. Formed after the demise of singer/rhythm guitarist Charlie Johnson's previous band, Martyr AD, Bastard Saint first started planting its seeds in the spring of 2006. Looking to start a band with an emphasis on mean riffs, bluesy vocals, and big beats, Johnson founded Homewrecker with some friends from the Minneapolis scene. After a few months of writing and recording, the band began unraveling.. Lack of motivation and too much focus on mind alteration had taken its toll. Enter guitarist Brent Hedtke. A veteran of the Minneapolis music scene, having done time in A Life Without and the hilarious Metallagher as well as numerous other projects, Brent took Charlie aside one night and suggested the two collaborate. Armed with a stand-alone ability with his guitar and the savvy to employ it, Hedtke was exactly what Charlie needed to keep his vision on track. Capping the line-up were drummer, Dan Johnson and bassist/tattoo artist, Zack Kinsey. This new band needed a name to go with the new blood…Bastard Saint. It didn’t take long for these guys to find their pocket and soon they recorded their first demos with visionary engineer, Adam Tucker. Bastard Saint played it’s first show on Thanksgiving night 2006 opening for The Atomic Bitchwax in front of a sold out crowd. The response was undeniable. Bastard Saint was the real deal
