The Hard Money Saints are a hard hitting, high rev Rock and Roll band from the great Pacific Northwest. Their blend of Rock, Rockabilly, Psychobilly and Roots music is an infectious combination that will get the whole room buzzin and having a good time.
Honoring those that came before with the train beat, shuffles and country boogie of the greats like Billy Reilly, Johnny Cash, little Junior, Carl Perkins and the King himself. But the tradition doesn't stop there. Just as the early greats combined all the genres of the day, Country, Blue Grass and Blues, the Hard Money Saints have also added a few influences to the mix.
To deny the Garage rock of the 60's, the 70's Glam. the 80's Punk Rock and Heavy Metal, or the 90's Hard Core and indie Rock would be to deny our roots. You can hear the influences of Dave Dudley, Ozzy Osborne and Link Wray in any given tune.
Hard Money Saints work hard to earn the audiences respect and pay great respect to the modern working man, the "saint" who pays in cash and earns every penny.
"Hard workin' music for the hard workin' people."
