Sainthood Reps announce their new album "Dull Bliss" coming out on September 26 via Smartpunk Records. Since the late 2000s, Sainthood Reps have been known for their unique and dreamy blend of grunge, post-hardcore, and shoegaze; their mastery in the genre is more evident than ever on their new single "Dizzy" below.

According to the band, each song on the new album is either about dullness, pure bliss, a juxtaposition of those two feelings, or how those feelings can be one in the same.

Speaking about the new single, Sainthood Reps vocalist and guitarist Cesco Montesanto shares, "This is the last song we wrote for the record, and it almost didn't make it. It started out much heavier, but then drifted into Gin Blossoms/Nada Surf territory. A lot of my lyrics revolve around anxiety in some way, and this song is no different. Specifically, it’s about the anxiety I get when I try to open my mouth to talk to anybody about anything whatsoever."

ABOUT SAINTHOOD REPS
Sainthood Reps have been known for their unique blend of grunge, post-hard, and shoegaze since the late 2000’s. After releasing Monoculture in 2011, Headswell in 2013, and a couple of singles here and there, the band spent several years pursuing other projects before eventually regrouping during COVID. Since 2022, the band has been in and out of the studio compiling new music that marks a definitive step forward without straying too far from their signature sound.

Sainthood Reps consists of Derrick Sherman, Cesco Montesanto, Bradley Cordaro, and Jani Zubkovs, with Chris Smith featuring in live performances.

Smartpunk Records welcomes Sainthood Reps to their label roster and celebrates the announcement with a new single, "Blue Nothing," out now. This is the first taste of more music and announcements from the band coming later this year!

The new track embodies the band's signature blend of heavy grunge and dreamy shoegaze that they have been honing since the late 2000s.

Listen below.

Speaking about the new single, Sainthood Reps vocalist and guitarist Cesco Montesanto shares, "Blue Nothing is kind of the pep talk I would give myself before finally deciding to move on with my life after losing something incredibly dear to me. It's about coming to the realization that the nothingness of what's been left behind is actually a substantial part of who we are, and the path forward isn't to block out the nothingness, but to embrace it. The chorus lyric is “elegize what you’ve lost and you know is gone for good.” If there were ever a "part 2" of this song, it would probably be the elegy itself.

When it came time to lay down vocals for the bridge, we asked our dear friend Gerry Windus (Stand Still) to take the reins. We never even considered anyone else. Turns out, that was the right move because he smashed that part."
