Denton, TX – Alternative rock quintet Saint Blonde took Austin by storm during this year’s South By Southwest Music Festival, an annual festival bringing together the best up-and-coming artists from around the world. The band performed as part of several official showcases throughout the week, including the Gorton’s Shrimp & Cocktail x Culture Collide event and BMG’s Frontline Label Showcase. Saint Blonde captured hearts with their engaging and emotionally charged performances, garnering support from GrammyU, Getty Images, Denton Chronicle, and more.

On their SXSW experience, the band shares: “Being from Texas, SXSW has always been something we’ve wanted to be apart of. It was a great experience and appreciate everyone who came out to check out our sets!

Saint Blonde are no strangers to evolution. Formed in 2018, Saint Blonde cut their teeth on the Southwest circuit, playing a mix of jangly and synth-driven bedroom pop tunes with infectious vocal hooks while slowly amassing a humble yet dedicated fanbase on their own terms. As time went on, the band - which consists of Hunter Fitch (Vocals), Tre Rollins (Guitar), Alexander Hernandez (Guitar), Tyler Lee Cooper (Drums), and Kyle Cade (Bass) - would pool their eclectic influences together to shape the future of Saint Blonde’s sound into something far more expansive in scale.

After releasing a string of well-received singles consistently, Saint Blonde have racked up an impressive 10M+ streams and, in the process, expand their sonic palette to include everything from angular post-punk to heavy-hitting indie rock — all without losing the core of their foundational sound. In the summer of 2024, Saint Blonde inked a record deal with

Pale Chord/Rise Records, joining the label’s illustrious roster including Spiritbox, Thousand Below, Holy Wars, and more. They’ve since begun work on defining the next era of their career which all started with the incendiary label debut single, “Trendsetter.”

Now armed with a new record label and a reinvigorated creative spirit, Saint Blonde are gearing up to hit the road hard in 2025 and release their highly anticipated debut album nearly six years in the making. It is now only a matter of time before Saint Blonde becomes a household name.
