Finding Your Musical Identity With RORY & SAM From ST SINNER

Finding Your Musical Identity With RORY & SAM From ST SINNER

Author: HEAVY Magazine May 5, 2023 Duration: 11:16
Interview by Kris Peters
Canberra based noise merchants St Sinner are farewelling one chapter of their musical identity while simultaneously ushering in a new, more important era with the recent release of their song Alone Together.
After going through a stagnating period in and around the COVID period with the release of three tracks Mr Prime Minister, Dead For The Weekend and We're All Going To Hell, St Sinner have been busy refining and honing their existing punk, metal, hard rock and dark pop sound into something more sinister and demanding.
Rory and Sam sat down with HEAVY to fill in the blanks.
"Pretty good," Rory replied when asked about the early reception afforded Alone Together. "We haven't released anything in a year and a bit, so all of the traction that we had from the last release is just fucken gone so the reception it has got... anything would have been good. I'm just happy that there's even two people listening to it (laughs)."
With the modern musical landscape being driven by low attention spans bands that don't release regular content are generally left floundering, a point which we raise to the boys.
"It's a weird thing," Rory agreed. "So this song was the last of a cycle - because our band has been through line-up change after line-up change after line-up change. This is the last song of a cycle that we've been going through since 2020, and in a way it was like starting again but at the end of a phase, which is interesting. Everyone's got ADHD now, including me. If a band that I'm listening to isn't putting out music at least once every two to six months I forget who they are."
In the full interview, Rory and Sam talk more about Alone Together including the play on words in the title, closing one chapter of the band's existence and opening another, how they plan to transition musically, what direction they are heading, the cocktail of influences in their music and how it came about and more.
