<p>Far From Saints have a busy summer ahead of them with several sold-out shows and festivals on their schedules. The band will be playing gigs in Glasgow, Leeds, London, Tetbury, and Rugeley as well as Glastonbury, Latitude, and Black Deer Festival this year. At the end of this month, the trio will also be appearing as the special guests for Kings of Leon during their two-day residency at The Racecourse Ground in Wrexham.</p>
<p>Behind the scenes of Jones’ 2019 solo UK, the trio first started experimenting together. The Wind and the Wave, who were supporting Kelly, joined the musician on a cover of Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty’s “<em>Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around</em>” which snowballed into their debut album – recorded in just nine days.</p>
<p>The band&#8217;s debut album will be released on the 16th June. Pre-save the album<a href="https://farfromsaints.lnk.to/farfromsaintswb"> here</a>.</p>

<p>“<em>We never really said to each other, ‘What are we writing about here?’ It was much more about chasing an atmosphere and sentiment</em>,” Kelly <a href="https://stuntcompany.com/far-from-saints">said</a> about the writing process in a press release. “<em>When the record was finished, it all felt so easy. I could stand back and listen to it as an audience member</em>”.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for the band, the pandemic halted the record’s release as Jones <a href="https://stuntcompany.com/far-from-saints">said</a> in the press release, “<em>We were an ocean apart after the pandemic hit and the record sat on a shelf for nearly two years.</em>” The album eventually was pulled from hibernation and mixed by Al Clay who previously worked with Blur and Pixies.</p>
<p>The band announced that their debut LP would be on its way back in March and have released three singles: the sweet country-inspired ballad “<em>Let’s Turn This Back Around</em>”, the rockier “<em>Take It Through The Night</em>”, and the uplifting “<em>Screaming Hallelujah</em>”. Watch the video for “<em>Let’s Turn This Back Around</em>” below:</p>

<p>“<em>It’s an album and it’s meant to be listened to from start to finish. That’s what I’d like for people to do</em>,” Lynn <a href="https://stuntcompany.com/far-from-saints">added</a>. “<em>Listen to the whole thing and see it as a complete work on its own.</em>”</p>
