The Saltire are a three piece band hailing from Wishaw, North Lanarkshire.
The three members: Gerardo Chierchia (bass/backing vocals), Mark Keegan (guitar/lead vocals) and Gordon Scott (Drums) have been playing music together since their early teens.
In this time theyve worked their way through a vast palette of musical influences such as Classic Rock, Punk, Blues, Indie, Metal and anything else they enjoyed listening to and playing.
However, as a band The Saltire have only recently (since the start of the year) matured musically into a position where they feel satisfied, confident and comfortable about writing their own material.
The resulting product is a sound that blends catchy indie and energetic brit punk with a Scottish accent, creating songs without gimmicks or clichés but only an edge of sincerity and eagerness to let the music world hear their sound after listening for so long.
