New EP ....out now!!!!

About Me


"It's caffinated fresco pop with a polka punk twist,
radio friendly folky-funk with a side order of lies,
crip hop chevy metal in a garageland of blooze."
Ottawa-based artists, the Red Light Saints are an indie-rock band that's been creeping onto the underground scene and leaving its mark on unsuspecting music lovers. Driven by eclectic melodies, hooky songwriting and thumping rhythms, The Saints are unapologetic in their diverse influences as they swing from grungy modern-rock anthems to droning acoustic psychedelia with no concern with the safety of the listener...you've been warned!
The Red Light Saints are a musical collective found on the principles of expression with no inhibitions and disregard for tradition and boundaries. The Saints thrive on the live performance and energy of the crowd and that's truly where their halo's shine.
The Red Light Saints are:
Chad - Vocal/guitar, AKA, "Spazpup". Patron Saint of explicit poetry, refined sugar & broken strings.
Johnny Bell - Guitar, AKA, "Johnny bgood". Patron Saint of Broken amps, detuned guitars & advil.
James Rooke - Bass/vocals, AKA, "The Rookie". Patron Saint of rhythm, hookahs, lucky lager & passouts.
Dan Pichette - Drums/vocals, AKA, "Sir Dangelo". Patron Saint of backbeat, tall boys & mooseknuckles.
After a great year of expanding, the Red Light Saints have re-emerged with new songs, a new line up, show and an original new sound that is sure to captivate...
