Formed in 2017, Paytron Saint are a three piece melodic indie grunge band from the hills of the Amber Valley in Derbyshire and Mirror is their latest single, released on 20/01/2023.

Compared to the likes of Riding The Low and Guided By Voices and Alanis Morissette, the band have already had coverage from the likes of BBC Introducing, Radio Derby, Havoc Underground, YMX, Edgar Allan Poets, In Your Ears Music, and various playlists.

The track was recorded at their own studio The Chicken Coop, built at the bottom of bassist Dean Lloyd’s garden, and is a hard-hitting track that should be played a full volume.

With the nostalgic hint of 90’s grunge, this track also sounds really at home in the present.

The guitars are heavy with full on hard rock riffs and the pounding drumming is hard and energetic, with lots of crashing cymbals and thunderous bass drums. Booming basslines rumble their way through the track and the slight distortion on all the instruments gives the track its grungey feel.

The vocals are a little quirky, reminding me vaguely of Placebo in places and there is a grittiness to the singers voice that sets the band up there with the best of the grunge/alternative bands.

The song is relatively upbeat and the verses build up to the big sound of the choruses. The music is catchy and this is definitely a track you will be tapping your foot to, at the very least!

A great track from a band I am looking forward to hearing more from!
